It really pains me to have to do this, but UniSys has given us no
choice. Due to their claims that "Our patents cover both creating
graphics and displaying (e.g., reading, decompressing) LZW. As
such, a license is rquired to create or distribute products
incorporating such capability." we must remove this support from
XEmacs,
Are their claims in accordance with reality? I am very uncomfortable
with XEmacs losing GIF support. Many other programs support
displaying GIFs without alleged legal problems.

Call CIA and tell them that you have placed a bomb in a 7-11 shop! Be
sure to let them trace you. Spend 10 years in jail and then regret it.
