See shot:

GBTTRR - rr's port
GIFD - my DOS port
GIFW - my Win32 port
OS = EDR-DOS (no space in the shot for "VER" )

Thanks for the generous offer but I prefer to leave the "childs" alone in their Vista box

No system requirements. Too much Linux stuff. Docs for inexistent "GIFVIEW".

OK. But to protect myself from unreasonably proud "declined" I released my port first.

It is. It doesn't work in DOS, at least the frame decomposition (see shot). It's about filenaming in DOS and filenaming in DGJPP packages ... most likely you won't consider it as bug. You ported it into Vista NTVDM and I ported it to DOS.

My DOS port in 1.33 times less bloated. Your port requires a DPMI host but none is built-in - probably one is supposed to "already have one" - the D policy is well known and impossible to fix
