Usually i dont use Multiview for viewing pix, is use fastview, visage,
vt etc.....and of course i downloaded this pictures and viewed them
externally and they were ok...(just did a "vt <piccy> dt") to be 100% sure ;)

I use the newest/current versions of datatypes,libs and stuff and 
my zgif-datatype is the latest... some said it should work with an
OLDER zgif-datatype...but i'm not going to "update" my system with older
software 'cause bugged applications..nono ;)

It'd be interesting to know if its a zgif-datatype-bug or aweb's...until 
now hadn't any trouble using the zgif-datatype...(as said using dtype and
a viewer : no probs..)

Okey
