>Description:
There seems to be a difference in the way different Web servers deal with down loading GIFs.
In our case the two servers are WebStar and Apache.  Some GIFs which download and
display successfully from WebStar are having troubles when downloaded from Apache.
Have you ever heard of this?  Is there any reason?  Does WebStar do something
differently?  Do you have any idea what?

     Help appreciated.  Thank you.
