Hi Lars,
The HTML part don't have to produce a complete web page. If I just get the
Image Map, I can do the rest of the web page, etc. The hard thing is to
find out all coordinates like center point of an arc and the radius for it,
etc.
About the GIF licence; Doesn't GIMP lack of GIF licence ut uses libgif and
libungif which have licences? If that is correct Dia could maybe also use
lib(un)gif?

If you have ImageMagick installed, 'convert' is a faster way to convert
between formats. Note that we can't legally write GIF without a license
from ... uhm ... whichever company bought out CompuServe. And JPEG is not
a good choice for such sharp graphics.

That is a good idea. I worked on something similar over the summer (with
Gimp). I don't think it'd be very difficult.

Ah, yes, that does suck. But you'd still have to enter the URLs and
comments, unless we come up with some way to attach such.
