NAME
       gif2tiff - create a TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file

SYNOPSIS
       gif2tiff [ options ] input.gif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
       Gif2tiff  converts a file in the GIF87 format to TIFF.  The TIFF image is created as a palette image, with samples compressed with the Lem-
       pel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5).  These characteristics can overriden, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS
       -c     Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: -c none for no compression, -c packbits for	the  PackBits  compression
	      algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).

       -r     Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip is approxi-
	      mately 8 kilobytes.

NOTES
       The program is based on Paul Haeberli's fromgif program which, in turn, is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF reader.

BUGS
       Should have more options to control output format.
