OK, perhaps we're arguing semantics here? There *is* an uncompressed GIF 
format, the motivation for which derived from the desire to avoid paying 
royalties to Unisys for the LZW compression scheme.

What I meant was, LZW was the only *compression* (in the strict sense of 
the word) option.

BTW uncompressed GIF images are larger than the raw image.

FWIW my vote is for PNG! ;)
