GifSplit.rexx is an ARexx script that will split an animated gif into it's component frames. It uses no patented alogrithms in doing so. It simply reads each frame of the gif, and produces an entire gif from that piece.

The script will output the individual frames with the name <filename>.XXX.Gif, in which XXX is the number of the frame, counting from 001.

It works quite well for many gifs, but there are some gifs out there on the web that have been optimized for web use. These gifs, when split, will have areas that remain the background color, and may also be smaller than the first frame.
