Oops. I was in another reality for a moment. Sorry! maybe this is NOT the 
best thing to do; one reason there's no development on GIFtrans is that it's 
not very morally (and legally?) compatible with Open Source development 
to use UNISLUDGE's LZW compression. It just happens that I recently was 
dealing with some shell scripts that use the netpbm tools and wanted to 
make some conversions from GIF->XPM, but IrfanView reputedly does 
this anyway. So ... [Roseanne Roseanna-Danna voice]: "Never mind!".
