Where is gif.library?

I need an easy way to load .gif images into my own software.

It is very easy to open iff.library and load iff images but I cannot find any library that allows me to load .gifs! :-?

There are tons of gif utils on Aminet.  So people must be loading gifs into their Amiga software somehow....

Does anyone know of an easy library I can use?

Or do you have easy source code to LoadGif() in my proggy?

I would like my software to run on OS 3.1 and up if that is ok.

ok so how do I write some lines of c code to load
a .gif or .png image thru picture.datatype?

Is there a tutorial somewhere?

I have never used a datatype in my whole entire life.

The thing is that I have a zillion megs of .iff textures.
I could reduce that to only half a zillion megs if I switched over to .gif or .png or any other format that compresses better than .iff.

I love using iff.library.  Its soooooo easy and does all sorts of handy things for me without my even asking. :-)
But .iff just doesn't compress very well. :-(
