It seems to work fine over Gopher. I just set up a wget to connect to
your GIF outputter and send it back out again. It takes around 10
seconds to connect, but it works fine after that. It's at
gopher://gpa.internetearth.com:7070/g/gif/205
Incidentally, I think you need to fiddle with your colour palette. The
colours look rather odd in the GIF.
I'd like to see your gif.php file--I'm curious about how you managed
to get an infinite animated GIF.
