Well, I am a little bit surprised because I have just realised that GIF
cannot be included directly into tex. You have to convert the images
first into ps or eps. I would be glad to know how you do this process ?
Are you using another piece of soft to handle the conversion like
ImageMagick or something else ?

Thanks for your help
