Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I came across an article on 'Hackaday' regarding a GIF decoder written/optimised for use on microcontrollers https://hackaday.com/2020/08/03/optimizing-gif-playback-for-microcontrollers/
The article links to https://bitbanksoftware.blogspot.com/2020/07/a-low-memory-gif-decoder.html
Although this decoder has been written for Arduio, I was thinking that an implemetation as a Csub or Cfunction would be a useful module that could be used in MMbasic programs...
Unfortunately I don't have the time available to me to port this, but if someone here has a need for GIFs, porting & posting the resultant code would very likely be useful for others.
