.SH DESCRIPTION
This program converts an
.IR RLE (5)
image file to 
.I GIF 
format.  The input file must be a single channel
(8 bit) image.  Three channel (24 bit) images can be converted to
single channel images using the programs
.IR tobw (1),
.IR to8 (1),
.IR mcut (1),
or
.IR rlequant (1).
The input image will be flipped vertically, since the 
.I GIF
origin is in the upper left, and the
.I RLE
origin is in the lower left.  Only a single image will be converted.
