Giffy Image Convertor

- Version 2.3

GiFFY is a free utility that can convert .bmp files to
.gif format and vice-versa. With just a few clicks,
GiFFY can create transparent, non-transparent,
interlaced, and non-interlaced GIFs. One reason you'd
use GiFFY is that it can fix .gif files which some
Internet browsers (particularly some versions of
Netscape) can't read in Java applets.

To create menu associations with .gif and .bmp files
run Setup.bat. After you do so, you may just
Right-Click any .bmp or .gif file and choose what you
want to do with it.
(Hint: you may select several files using 'Ctrl' key on
your keyboard.)

if you choose 'GiFFY. Convert to Transparent GIF' color
of bottom-leftmost pixel of the bitmap image will be
used as transparent color. To set your own transparent
color choose 'Open with GiFFY' and save your GIF manually.

GiFFY supports both Graphical and Command line interface.
Using Command line:

GiFFY [ /a | /t | /ay | /ty ] source [target]

Convert switches:

/a - normal mode
/t - if target file is .gif it is saved with default
transparent color.

/ay and /ty - are the same switches, but when you use
them GiFFY will not ask for your approval to overwrite
the target file.

Examples:

GiFFY mypic.gif - starts GiFFY with mypic.gif loaded.

GiFFY /a mypic.bmp - converts mypic.bmp to mypic.gif

GiFFY /t mypic.bmp - converts mypic.bmp to mypic.gif
using default transparent color.

GiFFY /a mypic.bmp smallpic.gif - converts mypic.bmp to
smallpic.gif

GiFFY /a bad.gif good.gif - converts bad.gif to good.gif

GiFFY determines GIF/BMP type by file's extension.
When using long filenames with spaces you should quote
the file name, like: "my picture.gif"

How Conversion Works:
GiFFY does not make any changes to the original files.
If the target file name exists dialog box will appear
asking you to rewrite the file.

This software is based, in part, on the work of Anders
Melander.
