It would be very useful to those of us on the battle lines
if you would build in a method for saving gif  images to
disk. It could take a file object and the name of the 
variable containing the image, then open a stream and 
write the file to disk with the appropriate encoding. 

If you know of a product or some example code that
does this, I would be most grateful to have it.

EVALUATION We are not allowed to ship a product with both the GIF decoder and an encoder because of patent issues. However this issue may be addressed by putting in a GIF encoder that does not use compression. I'll punt this one to Phil in case it will be addressed in the future with Image I/O. jeannette.hung@Eng 1999-08-27
