GIFview v1.2 ReadMe file.

GIFview v1.2 update by James Sanford, using GIFview v1.1 source code written
and released by Thomas Dorris.

GIFview v1.2 fixes a bunch of bugs from v1.1, plus has some minor interface
changes.  Here's a list of the bug fixes:

  ROM 03 GS support!  (Mouse routines in "Display Picture" didnt like ROM 03s)
  Now closes files if there is any type of error, before it always left the
    file open whenever it had a problem.
  Doesnt crash/lock up your computer if you keep reducing the size of the
    picture, just gives you a little error box.

That's it...for some reason, v1.1 would turn off interrupts as it loaded the
picture, I took this out, and put in a _WaitCursor call...I couldnt figure out
why it should turn off interrupts, if you happen to know why, please tell
me (it seems to work fine after my modification)...

There are a few things that I've been thinking about adding to GIFview,
like the ability to save the oversize greyscale APF picture, and have
a little window open with information on the currently loaded picture.
If you have any ideas for small changes, let me know...

Please tell me of any problems you have with GIFview v1.2.
