- GIF files are already LZW compressed, so they can't be reduced any more
- without being undone and recomporessed a different way (this is how GIFBLAST

- If you don't care about decompression time, the best known lossless graphics
- compression technique right now (as if this isn't going to change) is fractal
- compression. Does anybody know if there is a lossy version of this?
