 Description: programs to convert GIF images
  These are some programs that use libungif to convert images.
  .
  The libungif library is a specially modified version of giflib which
  is free of the Unisys LZW patent.  It can read all GIFs, but only
  write uncompressed GIFs.  If you need to be able to write compressed
  GIFs, you can install the non-free giflib packages instead (which may
  not be available on CD).
