Try the version of gifferNNNN.jnlp that uses the most
RAM your PC can offer. The UI (written by myself, duhh..)
does not provide access to some of the functionality of
the AnimatedGifEncoder class of FM Software, but it allows
you to set the frame delay rate.

(cough, cough) ..or, at least, this update (v 0.1) that
actually checks the user settings prior to writing the
GIF does.

The earlier version was hard coded to 1000 msec delay and
1 repeat. F1 for further details.
