Subject: CRYONICS: GIFs on Suns

In CryoNet message #2872, Thomas Donaldson sez:
 
       CompuServe has devised a special standard for sending images
       (called GIF) which was designed to make these images visible
       on any computer with the right software.  This includes Macs
       and PCs both.  Sorry, but anyone out there using Suns will
       have to find their own version, but I would not be at all
       surprised if they exist.
 
In fact, there's a common (and free) program for Suns called "xv" which can
be used to view GIF images as well as JPEG images.  This program isn't
actually specific to Suns; it's at home on any machine that runs X-Windows.
