# as far as i can remember bmp gets flamed on b3ta.
at least if it does satanic upwards loading due to filesize.

# There's some bizarre movement on the internet at the moment suggesting that .png is the best format for everything.
If you find any of these people, call them retards.

# have you heard the argument against .gif?
some company apparently owns the rights to it, so .png is the public domain alternative. not like anybody i know has ever gotten sued for using .gif

# I've heard the argument
but as you say, I've never heard of anyone having any trouble using .gif. Nobody has ever asked me for royalties, that's for sure.

I'll take your word for it.

# The first time I made a .gif file
I was playing with Animator Pro, for MSDOS, because there was no (or I didn't know any) animation software for Windows 3.1 available at the time. And I barely had any pubes.

# Compuserve who own the code for the GIF format
openly allow the use of GIF wherever you need to, what they often object to is software developers using the source code within their products without seeking their permission. I don't know the legal ramification of why Compuserve do that but I know you can use GIF for animations and pictures without worry of breaking some laws.

# Note: all their patents on the GIF format have expired now.
writing your own codec for GIF based on the specification is feasible, I had a go once.
