Yup!  Just don't use the -m (in memory decode) with large GIF's on a 1 meg
system.  Also don't have too many other windows open or too large a ramdisk.
Usually not a problem, but If you already have 3 or 4 windows open and a 256K
ramdisk, you don't have the memory to load the whole image into memory before
it's decoded *and* create a Overscan 384 x 480 x 256 color screen.

Should be a faster version of GIFShow available RSN.  Keep checking the Libs!
Hope y'all are enjoying the utility.
