RE: How to save a image to GIF by GIMP?

[Joris Lambrecht <jlambrec@landis.be>]

this .gif file format is no longer publicly available since some company (by
sudden insanity) decided to start earning money on it's patents,
i'd advise you to use .jpg or any other format wich will get you similar
results in size AND quality

:: side note ::  i think it's possible to save as a Gif file from within
gimp with some export function but if you publish this you might get sued or
something like that

Hi,
Would someone tell me how to save a image to a GIF format file?
When I try to do this I get a error message such as 
"save failed. xxx.gif: Unknow file type."
I have tried it both in testing and unstable.
Any help or information would be appreciated.

Regards,
