I am using gimp quite heavily, I need to save files in .GIF format but it

I too am in need of such a plugin, but it was my understanding that the
patent held by Unisys has expired.


Negative.  At least not yet[1].  The patent does not expire until at
least June 2003.  Looking at my calendar watch I see it is only March.
And there may be other submarine patents in the portfolio which will
only be published once this one is expired.

Patience.

Hrm.

So when will the MNG plugin for Gimp be ready again?
