Gifsicle version 1.49 available (port) (Announce)

On 04 May 2008 I finished my 32-bit DOS port of Eddie Kohler's Gifsicle version 1.49 using DJGPP version 2.04 beta. Binaries (gifsicle, gifdiff) and plain text manuals are available as gifs149b.zip. Fully configured sources including a GNU Diff file to be able to reverse my modifications plus some simple instructions on how to rebuild are in gifs149s.zip.

NO. Could you please reveal what it is supposed to do, and what the system requirements are ? I don't want to blame myself with a false bug report, just to make sure that I don't expect too much :-P No RTFM please ... I did RTM and it indeed is F***** :-(

No "RTFM", but "it's all in the docs". :-P
I'm not sure, what your problem is, so just report your bug and we'll see, if it's for real.

It makes animated .GIFs, right? If your .gif samples don't work, post them online so rr can optionally check them out (although he's only the porter, not the maintainer).

Why? 1.49 for DOS is 1.50 in fact, because I didn't know, when Eddie will have released a new version.

At first I will look into DOS386's reports. DOS doesn't need two Gifsicle ports, I think.
