The only way I can think this could be done is with the data being
stored in one of the frames (GIF's can have multiple frames, which  is
used in animation).

However, for this to work, you would need some external app to read the
frame.

The only other part of a GIF file, is the comment string, but this is
only 255 bytes AFAIK.

Subject: Hide and Seek Programs


Does anyone have information on programs that can be used to hide files
in
GIF images?  I have never seen this done, but have been told that they
are
call Hide and Seek programs.  If anyone knows how this is done and
whether
or not the presence of a file in a GIF image can be detected using some
sort
of file scanner, please let me know.

TIA,

Steven Phillips
