Solutions: GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): Early in 1987, CompuServe's graphics engineers introduced this remarkable new protocol as a standard for exchanging raster-based images among various computers. Some intriguing points about GIF are: 1. It looks to future technology by being able to preserve images with a resolution of 16,000-by-16,000 individual dots or pixels. 2.
