GIF Construction Set

For those that don't know, those little picture animations you see on web pages are often animated gifs (a series of GIF images displayed in rapid succession). Although as of late there are some new entries in the field, for making your own gif animations, the GIF Construction Set remains the standard. Includes a "Wizard" to help you quickly put together an animation (usually I hate wizards, but this one is actually useful). Also included is a tool for making animated banners.
