PHP distribution file png.gif should ALSO be distributed

in PNG format, file php.png.

GIF format files have patent problems

(from the LZW compression algorithm).

See http://burnallgifs.org/ for details.



For your convenience, here's the file in uudecode format, generated from
distribution file php.gif:

$ ls -l php.png

-rw-r--r--    1 dan          3981 Oct 21 15:14 php.png

$ md5sum php.png

$ file php.png

php.png: PNG image data, 120 x 64, 8-bit colormap, interlaced.
