	I am trying to load a gif image into dm for a background reference
image
and not having much success. I have tried several different images of
all 
different sizes and gif types and I either get the error message:

loadGIF: not a GIF file

	- if the image is a gif89a type or the messages:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  72 (X_PutImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  346
  Current serial number in output stream:  455

	- if the image is a gif87a type. 


	All images have been successfully viewed with other software.
Can anyone shed some light into what I might be doing wrong? The
dm utility is definitely finding the file, it is just not able to 
parse it properly.

	Thanks for any information in advance.
