3. GIF Support
==============

Due to the patent issues involved in packaging products
that support the GIF image format we have not supplied the
conversion libraries.
PsQRFilters if ready to generate GIF and has been tested
for the capability. All you need to do is enable it.
Please be advised on the patent issues involved with it.

What you need to do to get GIF support:
 1. Install either of the two Free GIF libraries PsQRFilters has been
    tested with - 
      a. RxLib (with the RxGIF units) - http://www.rxlib.com
      b. Anders Melander's GIFImage unit - http://www.melander.dk

 In all editions...
 2. Write just a few lines of code in the OnCreateBitmap event
    Here's the code:
      procedure TForm1.PsQRFiltersCreateBitmap(Sender: TPsQRExportFilter;
  	Bmp: TBitmap; FileStream: TFileStream; PageNo: Integer; var Continue: Boolean);
      var
	GIF: TGraphic;
        ...
      begin
        if not Sender is TPsQRGIFFilter then
          Exit;
        GIF := TGIFImage.Create;
        try
          GIF.Assign(BMP);
          GIF.SaveToStream(FileStream);
        finally
          GIF.Free;
        end;
        Continue := False;
      end;
  In the with source editions...
  2. Just remove either one of the dots (.) prefixed to
