I am that 'guy.' You don't want my GIFMaker, you want Paul's newer GIF
Server version.
Mine is written in NewtonScript and is really a proof-of-concept. I had the
16-level grey working and then removed it because it used up all the heap
on my machine and took several minutes to render a full screen. Doing 16x16
or 32x32 16-level grey GIFs was very doable but still slow and memory
intensive and was not really useful for NPDS.
Paul's is written in C++ and is much faster and has a better memory footprint.
