Reading <acronym>GIF</acronym>s is not a problem as the 14 uncompression routines do not seem to be limited in this way. Note that this14 decompression routines do not seem to be limited in this way. Note that this 15 15 has in the past been disputed. The best way to avoid this whole mess is to 16 16 simply use libungif for looking at <acronym>GIF</acronym> images on the web,
