One warning: figure out why RLE compression was removed from GD before distributing it. There's a whole bunch of patents related to run-length encoding.Gee whiz, Eric. I dunno. Have you done a patent search on RLE in Gifs?
Tom Boutell's web site (http://www.boutell.com/gd/) just mentions the Unisys patent, nothing at all about problems with RLE.
