           By the way, I am collecting banknotes! If you want
            to join into my collection, get any bill of your
           country, sign it on the backside and send it to me
                   so I will pin it on my world map.
            (Don't forget the exact location for the pin :-)
          But you can also just send me a picture postcard ...

               The demo picture supplied with the package
          (which I can set together by heart in the meantime)
      was taken from Panorama-Disk 124 with license free photo's by

  The loading routine for gif images was extracted from the gif-loader
  of the xv-package. It was rearranged, enclosed into a C++-class and
  enhanced to use extension data for some game specific features.

  Here is the copyright note, that was contained in the original loader:

| xvgif.c  -  GIF loading code for 'xv'.  Based strongly on...
|
| gif2ras.c - Converts from a Compuserve GIF (tm) image to a Sun Raster image.
