DESCRIPTION
-----------
I made the program while creating Trout's Internet Clock, and now 
use it to optimize my web page GIFs and for clock face images.

Trout's GIF Optimizer creates smaller GIF files from existing GIFs.
It works best when you have decreased the number of colors in the 
palette (using another graphics application).

It will also convert other graphics to GIFs.

To use it Open files (with the Open button or by dragging-and-dropping) then Save.
You can drag-and-drop multiple files to the GIF Optimizer.

NOTE:
Of course, it's a good idea to backup files that you try to optimize.
