yes, indeed! it does it since some minutes quite well and the gif problem
is solved.

only some question marks stay in mind whats happend with php versus gd :/
- maybe this patched gd is wrong -
i`ll put them on the hill with all the other question marks earned since
working with computers ...

thank you for your assistance and a compliment to Michael Stucki for his
debianising work!!

bye - rene
