How the Hebrew Animation Was Created
A Site of El-Mar Software Ltd.

We inclined not to uncover the way this animated GIF was done, because of 2 reasons:

We are ashamed for using so primitive tools...
In any case, there is no chance that anybody will believe us...

But the second reason (belief) is not our problem (but yours), and because nobody will believe to our story anyhow, then the first reason is not a problem, too...

So these 3 tools were used in order to create this Hebrew animated GIF (and other GIFs):

vi, the official UNIX editor, that was developed on the 70's by a technology of the 60's. It served us in writing the C programs that draw the strings and convert them to GIF files.
C compiler. It served us in compiling the programs that were mentioned in the previous paragraph.
The base X Windows' library, libX11 (!!!). Does anybody have any idea why the hell we needed it? prove us that you have an imagination...
