1. Yes, I as sure the GIF images are upside-down when they are finished
loading.

2. If then save the GIF after it has loaded and load it again, it is right
side up!

3. I am using a Diamond Speedstar VGA with Diamond Windows3 drivers.  When
I was using the default Windows 640x480x16 drivers I did not have a problem.
