The gifburst program takes a named GIF file and breaks it into equal-sized
tiles.  This is useful if a GIF is too large for your viewer, so you have 
to look at it in sections.<P>

<H1>Usage:</H1>

<pre>
gifburst [-s n] [-p b] gif-file
</pre>

<H1>Memory required:</H1>

Proportional to the size of the largest pasted image.

<H1>Options:</H1>

<DT> [-s nnn]
<DD> Specify the number of pieces.  Valid values are presently 4 (2x2)
   and 6 (2x3).  Default is 4.

<DT> [-p nnn]
<DD> Specify the number of pixels of overlap between interior boundaries
   of pieces.  Default 20.

<H1>Note:</H1>

The gifburst program is written on Perl, using the C utilities.  You must have 
both the giflib utilities and Perl installed to run it.<P>
