But Ilib supports more than just GIF, and appears designed to be able to handle plugging in more formats. You could also use giflib (http://prtr-13.ucsc.edu/~badger/software/giflib.shtml) instead of libungif. They share the same interface. And the important bit of the library is that it also support drawing operations. Jim
