Hi,

   I downloaded some gif files from nok.lcs.mit.edu, and when I was
trying to view it by using 'wingif' (a window gif viewer) I got a
message said "unable to read image description".  Anyone out there has
any idea what I did wrong?  I made sure all the tranfering were using
'binary', is that what I am suppose to do?   Also, is there any site out
there I can get a good windows gif viewer by anonymous ftp?

Thanks in advance!

Caroline
