dv> Yesterday, I did a mass RPM upgrade with my zip+, and dv> while updating the packages, I saw one named libungif. The doc dv> string says that this library reads gif, and can write it dv> without using LZW. COuld this be of interest, with regards to dv> the licensing problems ? If it's not buggy, will be maintained, won't change its call interface, etc, etc, it probably does solve our licensing problems, although not those of our users. However, it's a direct derivative of giflib, and IIRC Jareth's experience with giflib doesn't leave us with total confidence in its stability. But it's not going to be immediately available on any platform besides Red Hat Linux, right? Debian Linux doesn't seem to have it, anyway. Nor does ftp.redhat.com, for that matter. Where did you see this? A web search turned up only http://rasterman.com/development.html (which happens to be the home page of Yet Another Generalized Image Library, be warned). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +1 (298) 53-5091
