Try GEMView (it's like XView under Xwindows) - it handles GIFs VERY well,
in all resolutions, even large ones (you scroll it in a window.
It's at atari.archive.umich.edu

Good idea, except you can convert JPEG to GIF without losing significant
quality since 256 colours is all you get on a TT anyway (just for viewing
- keep the originals in JPEG for compression and passing on).
