giftool is a utility program that allows you to modify an existing GIF file. For example: after using LaTeX2HTML you want to make all those GIF files transparent. You can do this with giftool. Get in the directory with all those GIF(s) and type:

giftool -B -rgb white *.gif

This will make all *.gif files in the current directory transparent.

Typing: giftool -help results in the following:

Usage: giftool [options] [file] giftool (-p|-c|-B) [options] [files...] -B Batch Mode, read and write the same filename -i Set GIF Interlace mode ON +i Set GIF Interlace mode OFF -p Print information about file(s) -c Print comment information +c Add comments to file(s) -C Strip comment from file(s) -o file Send output to 'file' -rgb name Use 'name' as the transparent pixel -rgb ##,##,## tUse rgb-value as the transparent pixel -### Used pixel index as transparent (1 == first colormap entry)

For instance you could say giftool -B -i *.gif to convert all your images to interlaced GIF files in one easy step.
