WhirlGif Contains code to compress data using the LZW/LZH(?) technique . This technique(?) has been claimed (C) by someone (was it Unisys?) which means it isn't "free". As it isn't free the aminet maintainer WON'T accept any (re)uploads of it. So to get WhirlGif DownLoad it from any full aminet site , it's found in gfx/conv/ it's name keeps changing but it'll be "gfx/conv/WhirlGif.lha" Installation: ------------- drop Anim2gif-GUI Into Desired Directory Copy GfxCon and Buildanim to C: Ensure WhirlGif Is In C: Features: --------- Set Time Delay 1/100 Set Loops 0/9999 Transparency or full colour Transparency can be set to colour 0 or A chosen frame is loaded with a tiny box in the top left corner displaying colour under the pointer.
