NAME
    gif2tiff - create a TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file

SYNOPSIS
    gif2tiff [ options ] input.gif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
    Gif2tiff  converts a file in the GIF87 format to TIFF. The TIFF image
    is created as a palette image, with samples compressed with the Lempel-
    Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5). These characteristics can over-
    riden, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS
    -c   Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: -c
    none for  no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits compres-
    sion algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm,
    and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).

    -r   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.

NOTES
    The program is based on Paul Haeberli's fromgif program which, in turn,
    is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF reader.

BUGS
    Should have more options to control output format.
