				| it will be possible with turing in 4~5 years, when the copyright on .gif encoding expires  HoltSoft is just too cheap to buy a licence to use .gif files:? |

 Actually it's a smart idea for the creators, they are able to collect royalties from people buying the license. It's like saying "Let's make Windows Open Source!!!", we all know it won't happen

				| Step 1. ~~~~~
 Take an animated GIF and break it into 1 bmp of jpeg per frame.  If you don't have a program to do this already download IrfanView from download.com (it is free, not just free to try)
 
 Step 2.
 ~~~~~
 Load all of the frames into an array of integers (when you want to draw them later they are already in RAM, and thus draw much quicker)
 
 Step 3.
 ~~~~~
 Draw frames in order and cycle it.
 
 The example here is very simple and would need changes to incorperate it into a real program.
