Re: GIF Format

As far as I knew use of GIF format images is free.
So is using code to read GIFs.
It's only when you write code to WRITE a file in GIF format that you a required
to pay the
licence.

That is a program to read GI's is OK.
A program that writes GIFs must pay the $5000 licence.

This is why a lot of shareware paint program's wont save a GIF picture but will
read one.
