		gif2png -- GIF to PNG graphics file conversion

The gif2png program converts files from the Graphic Interchange Format
to Portable Network Graphics.  It can be built under any Unix, or
under MS-DOS or Windows using djgpp, or using Borland C. I don't know
when the djgpp or Borland builds were last tested.

This distribution also supplies web2png, a Python front end for
gif2png which automagically converts entire web hierarchies (the
graphics files themselves and references to them in web pages).

Installation instructions are in the file INSTALL.

You can test the correctness of this code with the regression-test
suite in the directory test/; this can be done with 'make check' from
the tiplevel directory. While gif2png is very mature and well-tested,
the kinds of bit-level tweaking operations it does could go subtly
wrong on unusual hardware architectures.

These programs have a home site at <http://www.catb.org/~esr/gif2png/>.
