I finally got some time to look at this. Sure enough, there is a
version for WinXP: http://www.evanolds.com/movtogifsimple.html
but another problem. It requires .NET Framework.

I'll be moving over to Linux when I have enough extra cash to replace
my system (the new one I'll put Linux on). So even less do I want to
go into .NET.

Is there anything out there. I've been looking and looking in the
little spare time I've had lately but nothing has come up that does a
decent job so far. thx.

I couldn't figure out how to export to aniGIF. Do you know how? I
have different versions of VD so I would assume it should have been
easy. But no joy.

Ulead is terrible. Crashes all the time with AVI files although I use
pretty standard AVI codecs. All DVD players and my computer plays
them just fine. But no matter what AVI Ulead chokes and/or crashes.
No good.

Thanks, though.

Would have saved time if you'd have revealed your anti .NET
requirement in the first place.
