Fixed some broken links and did some small work on the website.

After some information from Unisys, the company that holds the patents for GIF, I decided that GIFComposer won't be developed so much furter. I will ofcourse provide you with bugfixes and small improvements but I won't include some animationcreation or picture/anim-conversion features in GIFComposer. All this because they wanted me to pay for using LZW/GIF. "Information wants to be free", as some clever person once said and I agree!
But, if you are a webmaster, don't despare! I have heard rumours that I might be sketching on another project for you. I am sure that you'll find some more info here when it's official. (It has nothing to do with GIF though.)

GifComposer is almost finished, the arexx-port and some minor adjustments has to be done, and some new text will be added to the catalogs. The datatypes-part (see below) was more difficult than I thought so it won't be included in this version.

The development has started again!
Here's the scenario. In october -97 my Amiga broke down and after that, my harddrive. The sources to GIFComposer were lost, the backupdisks were also lost somehow. Now I have got a PC on which I run UAE so I have a "virtual Amiga" to develop on. All development-tools are set up and the school doesn't take too much time so now I'm starting to rewrite GIFComposer from scratch. The time this will take might be some weeks, but I dont know exactly. I'll keep in touch.

Got a request for interfacing datatypes-loading with GIFComposer. It means that you can import IFF, JPG and all other pictures that you have datatypes for. Doesn't sound too difficult to me. I'll might add it for v0.12.
He also requested IFF-anim conversion but I don't intend to do that in the nearest future.

The site is finally (hopefully) up and running after some trouble.

A new bugfixed version of WhirlGIF has been released. You might have had problems when making a transparent animation with the "Background" disposal-setting, it weren't properly handled by neither Voyager, IBrowse nor MSIE, (it worked good with Netscape though). This was a problem in WhirlGIF (nothing is my fault :-) and has been corrected. The new version is called 2.02 and it may be downloaded here.

A german translation of GIFComposer has been made by TFA. It is availiable here and at the Aminet. Go here to get it. It will also be included in release 0.10 of GIFComposer.
Thanks to Michael Lünse for this.
