Hi Ian,
<BR>
<P>do you think it makes sense to compile a sane version of today in 2003?
<BR>
<P>There is no real advantage to use GIF or LZW today, there still exist
<BR>
formats that are at least as good as GIF or LZW. In 3 years GIF and
<BR>
LZW may be irrelevant at all. If not we still can include it then.
<BR>
(BTW is the Year 2003 correct that the LZW algorithem gets free?)
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
