I'd like to apologize to Mr. Egmond, who informed me that gif-pas.zip
contains precompiled .TPU's for TP 4.0.  I assumed, incorrectly, when
I saw the 'pas', that this was pure source code.  Of course, there's
no way to modify a .TPU to work with a later version other than to
recompile the source.

There are a few other files perhaps worth looking into at SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL,
available via LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU and LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU.

In Directory PD1:<MSDOS.GIF>
GIFSRC.ZIP, TP source code for GIF viewer; GIFLIB11.ZIP, TC 2.0 GIF library;
GIF-CSRC.ZIP, C source for GIF viewer; GIF89A.ZIP, GIF 89a specification.
 
Again, I apologize for my mistake.
