But there was a problem: lots of people had already started using GIF format, and there were many programs that could display GIF format and produce GIF format and they couldn't display PNG format. So the result was people felt it was too hard to switch. You see, when you are dealing with a data compression program used by somebody who says &ldquo;I want to compress some data,&rdquo; well, you can give him a different data compression program; if he can get sued for using this one and you give him another one, he'll switch; but if what he wants to do is make images that can be displayed by Netscape, then he can't switch, unless Netscape handles the other format&hellip; and it didn't.
