GIFTEST.ZIP (c) 1994 by PHADE Software   Mon Apr 18 22:02:39 EDT 1994
=====================================================================

This is a GIF-file analyser running under DOS. Its based on the
program called "giftest" written for Unix-systems by Jonathan O'Neal.
Many thanks to him.

It was compiled with Gnu's DOS-port of their GCC-compiler,
called DJGCC Version 2.4.1 and NDMAKE Version 4.5. So please
read the GNU-Licence-file 'LICENCE.GNU'.

The DOS executable in this distribution is named GIFTEST.EXE
and a man-page already formatted for MSDOS-system called
GIFTEST.1


SHAREWARE
---------

GIFTEST is inexpensive shareware. If you are continuing using
it after a 30 day trial-period, please send a letter containing
the filled and signed registration-form and the little donation
of 10 $ or 15 DM in cash to the adress below.

The you will receive a PASSWORD enabling you to encrypt the
full-licenced version shipped in the archive FULLGIF.ZIP using
the command 'pkunzip -spassword fullgif.zip'. This will
overwrite the shareware version of GIFTEST.EXE

ATTENTION: The dots the shareware version of GIFTEST.EXE produces
are just delay, to force you to register.

ATTENTION: A registration is recommended for commercial use.

ATTENTION: The full-licenced version is restricted to a local
           area network (company) or a privat single host.


NEEDS
-----

Version 1.0 of GIFTEST is compiled with a new version of DJGCC,
the executable is now running under DPMI (so even in a Windows-
DOS-Box), but still needs at least a 386-machine.

The Gnu-environment-executable 'GO32.EXE' has to be somewhere
in the PATH. If running on a 386, the GNU-387-emulationfile
'EMU387' has to be, where the environment variable GO32 is
pointing to, so if the emu-file is in D:\LIB enter:

  set GO32=emu d:/lib/emu387

and then just start the program by typing

  GIFTEST *.gif


CHANGES
-------

Please do not recommend any big changes or any new versions
of this program. Its working all right, doing its job and
there is really NO need in enhancing it. But, if it should
not work on any DOS-system, please report it with a complete
description to the e-mail-adress below.


That should do, Phade
