Summary     : A GIF to PNG converter
Description :
The gif2png program converts files from the obsolescent Graphic Interchange
Format to Portable Network Graphics. The conversion preserves all graphic

even recover data from corrupted GIFs.

There exists a 'web2png' program in a separate package which is able
to convert entire directory hierarchies.
