xgif is a program that displays GIF images on an 8-plane X11 display.  The
images can be freely rescaled.

A collection of GIF images is available via anonymous ftp to 
"dsl.cis.upenn.edu" [128.91.2.12].

Revision History:

PATCH 1  -  Somewhat more intellegent color use.  Basically, it only trys
to allocate the colors that the GIF picture actually USES, rather than one 
color for each entry in the GIF colormap.  Ran into a bunch of pictures that
only used 16 colors out of a 256-entry colormap...

Also added [-display] option, in keeping with the New Improved Standard
Command Line Options for X11.

PATCH 2  -  (2/13/89) Minor problem with dying on unexpected X events.  
Different window managers send different events.  Solution:  simply IGNORE 
unexpected X events.
