Just curious: shouldn't it be "children" instead of "childs". Or is the first totally outdated nowadays?

Very wise!

Ok, but that's a minor issue.

In the docs there is mentioned it runs with FreeDOS 1.1. What's the problem with FD 1.0?

Anyways, I tried your port (both DOS and Win32) and it failed with the very first step.

I'd expect that without any options the output GIF is somewhat equal to the input one - and this is indeed true for Robert's port -, but with GIFD/GIFW I'm getting garbage as output.

The GIF I used was a 500x600 picture.
