Hi. I found a mistake here: "110 which is the binary value of 4". There are more mistakes like this in the same page but I don't remember where and it's late at night currently, so I'll report them later on. Cheers :-)

    Hi, I've included a fix for this (and your other reports) in my merge request at https://sourceforge.net/p/giflib/code/merge-requests/10/.
    110 is of course 6, so I wondered which number was wrong, but looking at the context it seems clear that it refers to the last three bits of 8C, which is 100.

    Hi Eric. Glad to hear that you are feeling better after being ill.
    (I saw you posted about it, although I can't now find those posts again. I find SourceForge a bit confusing nowadays.)
    I noticed your fixes in d565f and 865b8. It now says 010, but I think it should be 100, which is the last three digits of 8C (10001100), and is 4 in binary.
