DOS ain't dead

Gifsicle version 1.51 available (port) (Announce)

On 19 May 2008 I finished my 32-bit DOS port of Eddie Kohler's Gifsicle version 1.51 using DJGPP version 2.04 beta. Binaries (gifsicle, gifdiff) and plain text manuals are available as gifs151b.zip. Fully configured sources plus some simple instructions on how to rebuild are in gifs151s.zip.

Changes from 1.49 to 1.51:
* gifsicle: '--crop' preserves the logical screen when it can. Reported by Petio Tonev.
* gifsicle, gifview: Refuse to read GIFs from the terminal. Requested by Robert Riebisch.

This time no DOS or DJGPP specific changes were required.

Concerning file naming problems reported by user DOS386 in GIFSICLE 1.50K uploaded DOS (+Win32) port really works now: You can avoid these problems by running gifsicle -e logo.gif --output=logo. That will produce files named logo.000, logo.001, logo.002, ... So I decided not to provide a patch.
