If you use IE4, don't be put off by the fact that drag-dropping a .PNG file
on it elicits just no capabable message: if you write a tiny web page in
which you include an <IMG > tag with the approriate .PNG file name, IE4
displays it without a hitch. Maybe it's just a bug in the drag&drop code.
Netscape 4.5 accepts both the HTML and the drag/drop actions without
problem.

To my knowledge, GIF is free to read but patented to write. Anyway, having
PNG gives us a much better and free alternative but for the anymations. By
the way, PNG is now codified and an RFC.
