The following is a list of some of the GIF libraries that currently supports Delphi or C++ Builder. I have only included libraries that support a reasonable set of features and at least allows you to create, display, load and save GIFs. The DLL based libraries may or may not support display of animated GIFs - I don't know.
The information is believed to be accurate at the time of writing (11-APR-1999).
