INTERGIF 6.15 is a program for joining GIFs together (for animation),
or splitting animations apart, or for optimising animations created
by other programs.
* Supports the animation, transparency and interleaving features of GIF89a.
* Eliminates unused palette entries.
* Minimises the final size of the GIF with a devious and cunning optimisation
  routine: almost every animated GIF the author has found on the web ends up
  smaller when run through InterGif.
* Can forcibly reduce a GIF's palette to the standard Acorn 256-colour palette,
  or to a 216-entry "web safe" colour cube (as used on the Macintosh and by
  most Windows browsers),or to a palette file you supply. Alternatively, it can
  calculate the best palette for displaying the GIF, and then reduce to that.
* From version 6.03, this also works with 16bpp and 24bpp input images -- and
  with GIFs which use more than 256 colours in total. (GIFs can only use 256
  colours per frame, but each frame can have its own palette.)
* Lets you trim away any wholly transparent rows or columns from the edges of
  your GIF (whether single-frame or animated).
* Can dither 16bpp or 24bpp input files to whatever palette is required (error
  diffusion implementation kindly donated by Martin Wurthner).
