I had the same problem...after I got the conversion worked out (in
GifConverter, using the "87a compatability" option), though, the program always
quits on me due to a Type 1 error. I haven't used it successfully yet. :/

I've also had problems with it.
I had it working fine on a university LC III  but as soon as I tried to use it on
my Classic it would just crash.
Is this just a badly written program which needs a 68020/30 or a fpu but doesn't
warn you of this before crashing.

Please help
