download Giftrans.exe, to create transparent GIFs.
This lets them display with non-rectangular shapes. Very
useful for creating interesting visual effects. Walter Arnold

I recently downloaded AOLs AOLpress, a freeware
WYSIWYG authoring tool, and tried its CSIM tool. Its
great! It writes all the code, while youre mapping out
the spaces on your image. No glitches either, as far as I
can see. Roger

BoxTop Software, Inc. is offering a free trial version of
GIFMation 2.0. Heres what they say about it:
[GIFMation] has animproved interface and advanced features
such as onion skinning, precise color control and pallette
reduction.
GIFmation can import several different graphic formats
including, PhotoShop (full layer support), TIFF, PhotoCD,
GIF, JPeg, Quicktime, and PICT, thus eliminating the need to
convert graphics to GIF format before use.
GIFmation offers every conceivable option for handling
the animation process, yet remains simple for the novice or
the advanced Web designer to master. Power, control, speed,
and ease of use are the most notable features of GIFmation
which must be experienced to appreciate. Anyone creating
animated GIF's should consider GIFmation. Andy King
[Editors Note: both my husband Dave and Joe
Gillespie have tried GIFMation and love it. GIF animations
are about all weve been doing for the last six months,
so Dave should know what hes talking about.]
