Oddly enough , in solving my origional problem I had with my VGA card , I
did the 1.1 upgrade from ISC. Running the VGA server , I have been generally
happy with "xgif's" results.
I use FBM to convert the images down to 16 colors and have not yet gotten a
failure message.

I know , thats too bad to .. remember that ALL VGA cards cann support
320x200x256 (pretty sad for X) , and it burns me up because my VRAM can do
800x600x256 ...
