MakeGIF

A simple program that worked better than most 'cheap' programs. Its been a while, so I don't remember if this one makes more efficient animated GIFs. Some simply store repeated copies of GIF images and play them. Better GIF programs determine what has changed and only store data for those changes. These better GIF programs therefore make anitmated GIF files that are significantly smaller.

As I also remember, this program provided a slightly more flexible timing adjustment compared to other 'cheap' GIF programs. Only look at less than 10 back then. This one was an easiest to learn, do it, and be done.
