I'll try. I'm not very current on PC tools, but I do know that
HoTMeTaL is available in Windows as freeware (that's as opposed to
HoTMeTaL PRO). It should be at the usual ftp sites. I'm fairly
confident that a GIF converter exists in Windows, as well, but I don't
know the name. It should be at the usual ftp sites, also, but I'd
start at the NCSA site (Mosaic developers) inside the "Helpers"
folder/directory. If you have WWW access, do a search on HoTMeTaL, and
one on GIF. That should give you specifics.
