The current method of loading GIFs is to convert them to a BMP using
GIF2BMP.EXE which you will find in the UI-VIEW directory, load the BMP
into the map window, and then delete it. Yours are obviously failing
during the conversion, so either the format is wrong, or GIF2BMP.EXE is
corrupted.
As said above, I've not used gif2bmp, so it can't be that. Should it
matter whether they are 87a or 89a gif format?
UI-View uses GIF2BMP.EXE to load the GIFs into the program. So, if it
has somehow become corrupted, it could cause a problem. However, it is
difficult to imagine corruption that would allow it to load some GIFs
but not others.
Both 87a and 89a load ok for me.
Anyway, V0.74b uses completely different code to load GIFs, and GIF2BMP
is no longer used, so it will be interesting to see if the problem goes
away.
