Lots of programs can convert whole directories to a specific format.

Actually, I'm not intending to make an animated GIF out of the images.
There's a fairly new bit of software called Microsoft Agent- perhaps you've
seen it as the Office Assistant in MS Word- and they have also released a
software that lets you build your own characters. Unfortunately, space
requirements dictate that the program only accepts 256 color images. I'm
downloading DTA right now; it may be what I'm looking for.

Well, the character editor (at least the version I have) takes both
256-color BMPs and regular GIFs.

The latest Megapov didn't but 3.5 does support GIF. As I understand it, the
GIF legal tangle will be over soon since the patent expires in 2003
(specialists correct me if I'm wrong).

Don't hold your breath. Why support and ancient outdated antiquated
inferior image format?

No, POV-Ray does not and will not *ever* support output to a palette based
image format for exactly the same reason as there is no support for any
other lossy output image format. No putting it on wish-lists and no number
of user requests will change the POV-Team policy not to support lossy output
image formats of any kind.
