Well I see on Slashdot that the patent expires on the 20th of
June 2003. GIF and LZW are free again. So I can put the appl in
the file section as soon as the bugs are taken out. Hope that SCO
goes belly up faster otherwise there's a 100 times bigger problem
in the computer industry.
The appl has more features now 8>16>8, grey>gray :-), grey>rgb,
grey>cmyk (with max percentage settings per channel), zip, lzw,
packbits.
