+.SH NAME
+gif2tiff \- create a
+.SM TIFF
+file from a GIF87 format image file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B gif2tiff
+[
+.I options
+]
+.I input.gif
+.I output.tif
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Gif2tiff
+converts a file in the GIF87 format to
+.SM TIFF.
+The
+.SM TIFF
+image is created as a palette image, with samples
+compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
+.IR Compression =5).
+These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
+with the options described below.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
+.B "\-c none"
+for no compression,
+.B "\-c packbits"
+for the PackBits compression algorithm,
+.B "\-c zip"
+for the Deflate compression algorithm,
+and
+.B "\-c lzw"
+for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
+by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
+is approximately 8 kilobytes.
+.SH NOTES
+The program is based on Paul Haeberli's
+.I fromgif
+program which, in turn, is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF reader.
+.SH BUGS
+Should have more options to control output format.
