You say you have the Delphi source files; you've been advised that it should be possible to compile these for C++Builder; what more do you want? Have you even tried doing it?

I have the same problem for months now, I want to use GIF images in C++ builder 6. I can't find anything on the web, only a TGifImage component which costs 15 pounds.

You can download a trial version, I have not tried it yet.
However i would prefer a free TGifImage Component.

Any suggestions?

You might also like to check out ImageMagick, at

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

. It's a free command-line graphic file manipulation tool which includes format conversion to and from GIF.
