trueGIF	Datatypes Handler V1.0                    01/30/96
----------------------------------------------------------

Special Feature:
----------------------------------------------------------

	- converts all GIFs into 32 bit bitmaps. This 
	  dramatically increases the display quality
	  (especially with BeShow on 8bit displays),
	  but naturally slows down execution speed.
	
	
Installation note
-----------------------------------------------------------

	If you have another GIF handler installed, remove it
	first!	

"Bug" Note
-----------------------------------------------------------

	BeShow has some problems with 32bit images. Sometimes
	a white line stays at the bottom of the picture. This
	is NOT a problem of the datatype.	
	
ToDo:
-----------------------------------------------------------

	- support for 89a extensions:
	
		- Graphic Control Extension
		- Plain Text Extension
		
		these will probaly not work:

		- Comment Extension
		- Application Extension
		
	- support of pixel aspect ratio
	
	- adding a preferences program to select output
	  format:
	  
	  		B_COLOR_8_BIT with floyd dithering or
	  		B_RGB_32_BIT
	
Legal stuff
