Hey -

I've got something to tell you all about .JIFs.

Two or three years ago I came across some graphics files having an
extension of ".JIF".  They were viewable in MSIE 3.0 and also in the then
current version of Netscape.  I could rename them either as ".JPG" files,
or as ".GIF" files, I don't recall which, and they were still viewable in
these other two browsers.  I didn't get a chance to to a look at them in
the version of Arachne that I had at the time.  Does anyone know what a
.JIF is?
