                     ------------------------------
                       (c)96-97 by Felix Schwarz

Welcome to V2.3 of the first ANIM>GIFANIM-converter for the AMIGA!! Well,
first I want to say sorry, because I haven`t placed new versions of
ANIM>GIFANIM on my homepage. Well, and I`ve also lost some mails by a crash,
so please resend your mail. This converter is FREEWARE! Copy it to anyone
you want. This release doesn`t have many improvments, but you`ll see that
there are many "new" functions :-). Well, there`s no more a time limit.
And the programs containing LZW-code were also removed. You have to download
them seperatly from Aminet at:
 +------------------------------------+
 |                                    |
 |  gfx/conv/WhirlGIF201.lha  [30 KB] |
 |  gfx/pbm/ppmbin1.lha      [643 KB] |
 |                                    |
 +------------------------------------+

Simply copy the files WhirlGIF and ppmtogif from the archives to the main-dir
of ANIM>GIFANIM. That`s all you have to do. Then ANIM>GIFANIM should work as
you know it from former releases. If you like to thank me for my work, or
want to support me, you could for example register Ultraconv. You find more
information about it at the following adresses.

 |                                         |
 +-----------------------------------------+

You can also download UConv from Aminet: gfx/conv/uconv16r.lha
A preview to the features of the coming UConv 2.0 can be watched at the
UConv-homepage. You`ll also need the two archives mentioned above for the
GIF-saver.

If you want to see new versions, send a support mail from my homepage. There
you only have to enter your email-adress and click on a button.

At this point I also want to thank you for your many support mails! My mailer
had to do a lot of work. hehe :-) Around 120 mails arrived. But you can send
more, ok ? :-)

New in this version
-------------------
  - new ReqTools-Reqs (you`ll need reqtools.library in your libs-drawer)
  - program checks whether all files and dirs needed are there
  - a "bug-fix" against a bug in WhirlGIF (hope it works now on every machine!)

How to use GIF-ANIMS in HTML-documents
--------------------------------------
Simply include it as you already know it from normal GIF/JPEG-Pics..
e.g.:

<IMG SRC="MYGIFANIM.GIF">

UConv Home-Page (MOVED!!!)
--------------------------
The homepage from Ultraconv is now available at:
 http://home.pages.de/~uconv/

It was COMPLETLY DONE on an AMIGA using Ultraconv 2.0BETA8 and
MegaEd, some WWW-editing tools and Workbench Ed. I hope, you`ll enjoy
it! Please note, that the old adress no more contains the homepage!
You have always the right page with http://home.pages.de/~uconv/
