I'm also interested in GIF support on Linux. I DO understand the usage restrictions Unisys enforces, so I DO understand why GIF support is NOT shipped w/ GIMP. However, I *DO* have libungif installed and I understand that IS a library that provides support for this image format. Can libungif be used for GIF support on Linux? As for the Windows plug-in, that is an executable so unless you can run Windows executables (like via wine) from GIMP, I don't think you can use the Windows plug-in. Thanks! Peace.....
