GIF License - Resolved

[Jim Bufalini]

Everyone,

Just figured it out. A bad switch statement was causing my script to export
... as JPEG with a file extension of .gif :-(( This confused some
browsers/programs and not others. Those funny characters are what you see at
the beginning of a JEPG. So, the answer is, you don't need a license, just
better debugging and a text editor :-) And, yes it comes out of export as
GIF87a.

A text editor, why didn't I think of that! :-) OK, mine are starting out
before import as GIF89a and after Export are ÿØÿà. This meaningful to
anyone?

On the Windows side (for me) it does work.  I also looked at the file
with a text viewer and it's identified as a GIF87a.  The rev
documentation says "If you specify the export GIF form and don't have a
special license key, the image is exported in Revolution's internal
format instead."  I believe that that contradicts what I'm seeing on my
system.

As far as the original question of the license cost, I have no idea.  I
was also interested in it, but when I went to the Rev store to purchase
the license I couldn't find it.

But since it appears to be working fine for me, I'm not worried about it.
