GIF isn't modern at all

Not much for a C programmer ... but VGAP386 is done for a very obsolete version of WATTCOM ... but hadn't we already discussed this (+ crashes ... just before rr accidentally destroyed the forum over 6 years ago ) ???

Try DOS32A or D3X or WDOSX ... WATTCOM extenders don't love DOS-based external DPMI hosts too much.

Try some convert program like NCONVERT.
