it's all about our great friends from wehavethewayout.com - UNISYS they hold a patent for GIF. I belive there is a package called gimp-nonfree which provides gif support

Gimp, installed via apt-get, will not allow me to save a GIF. I can open and edit it, but trying to save says that it is an unrecognized type. The GIF extension doesn't show up (even grayed out) on the list of types to save as. Talking to friends who use Red Hat and Mandrake, both indicate that they were able to use Gimp for GIFs without any extra action on their part. Searching the web, I find lots of references to patent issues, as well as references to a plug-in which will add GIF capabilities. However, I don't find any download links to the plug-in. Could someone set me straight on the using Gimp with GIFs under Debian? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
