The miGIF compression -routines do not, strictly speaking, generate files conforming to the GIF spec, -since the image data is not LZW-compressed (this is the point: in order to -avoid transgression of the Unisys patent on the LZW algorithm.) However, -miGIF generates data streams that any reasonably sane LZW decompresser will -decompress to what we want.</p> -</body> -</html> |
