<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<I>Gif2tiff</I>
converts a file in the GIF87 format to
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF.</FONT>
The
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>
image is created as a palette image, with samples
compressed with the Lempel-Ziv &amp; Welch algorithm (<I>Compression</I>=5).
These characteristics can overriden, or explicitly specified
with the options described below.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><B>-c</B>
<DD>
Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
<B>-c none</B>
for no compression,
<B>-c packbits</B>
for the PackBits compression algorithm,
<B>-c zip</B>
for the Deflate compression algorithm,
and
<B>-c lzw</B>
for Lempel-Ziv &amp; Welch (the default).
<DT><B>-r</B>
<DD>
Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
is approximately 8 kilobytes.
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
The program is based on Paul Haeberli's
<I>fromgif</I>
program which, in turn, is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF reader.
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>BUGS</H2>
Should have more options to control output format.
