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	 Lem-
       pel-Ziv	& Welch algorithm (Compression=5).  These characteristics can
       overriden, 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.
