HISTORY

 prep4gif.pl
 by Seth Burgess <sjburges@gimp.org>
 June 29, 1998

 This perl plug-in prepares a multilayer RGB image for use as a
 transparent gif. To use this properly, you want to have something
 close to the intended background as the bottom layer. If convert
 to indexed is not selected, the bottom two options are unused.
