That imagemagick site looks terrific - thanks for the tip.
I am happy to discontinue creating gifs, but I have about
1000 gifs I've made already that I would like to be able to read!
I am sure this is a problem for others as well, and it really
is crippling to many people. I know several people who are
not upgrading to IDL5.4 for just this reason.
