The gifburst program takes a named GIF file and breaks it into equal-sized
tiles. This is useful if a GIF is too large for your viewer, so you have
to look at it in sections.<P>
<H1>Usage:</H1>
<pre>
gifburst [-s n] [-p b] gif-file
</pre>
<H1>Memory required:</H1>
Proportional to the size of the largest pasted image.
<H1>Options:</H1>
<DT> [-s nnn]
<DD> Specify the number of pieces. Valid values are presently 4 (2x2)
and 6 (2x3). Default is 4.
<DT> [-p nnn]
<DD> Specify the number of pixels of overlap between interior boundaries
of pieces. Default 20.
<H1>Note:</H1>
The gifburst program is written on Perl, using the C utilities. You must have
both the giflib utilities and Perl installed to run it.<P>
