For viewing JPEG files on an 8-bit system I would strongly recommend
using JPEGView.  It does a very good job of quantization for 8-bit
systems.  JPEGView is also cheaper (postcardware vs. shareware) and
uses significantly less memory.  There are differences in the user
interface which may influence your decession.  As I recall, for images
larger than the screen, GIFConverter puts your image in a scroll
window while JPEGView scales it to fit on the screen.  I have not
tried GIFConverter recently, so it may have some of these features,
but some of the "nice" features of JPEGView include: slide show mode,
easy to set file type on downloaded images, nice mac interface (good
help system and user preferences), able to use full screen, etc.

JPEGView is compatable with QT 1.0.
