Description
-----------

Gif89Encoder is a Java (JDK 1.1 level) class library for writing GIF files.
In addition to the usual options, it supports animation and comments.  Point
your browser to the javadocs in the present distribution's 'doc' directory for
more info.

Installation
------------

It's suggested you unpack the ZIP to the location where you want to install the
encoder, taking care to preserve internal directories.  (The installation tester
and Java docs make a couple of relative-path assumptions.)  As a Java
programmer, you know how to put a JAR on your CLASSPATH, etc., so I'm not going
to belabor it.  The distribution should be fairly self-explanatory.  If you're on
Windows and want to run 'runtest.bat', make sure you edit it first to point to your
Java runtime installation.

Legal
-----

Since Gif89Encoder includes significant sections of code from Jef Poskanzer's
GifEncoder.java, I'm including its notice in this distribution as requested (appended
below).

As for my part of the code, I hereby release it, on a strictly "as is" basis,
to the public domain.
