Re: paint gif
It's illegal to have a freeware program to make/read GIF files. Unisys and
IBM, the patent holders, charge expensive fees for letting shareware or
commercial programs use GIF. I was nearly sued for using GIF in a freeware
program, but I got wind of it just before and changed ALL of my freeware
imagers to my own format.
