Oh-oh! (slaps self) Don't I look a complete fool!
My apologies to the OP.

OK. The *one* 'package' I encountered that worked for me
is available here.. <http://fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html>

I was feeding 230-240 320x160 PNG's to form a single animation
in a pass. The resulting files were around 9Meg.
As far as I recall, I had to pump the Xmx memory up to 512Kb
before I could complete the run with no OutOfMemoryErrors.

Wow. That's a mouthful. I'll stick to what I
currently say and take my chances. ;-)

Yep. 'Spill the beans', OP. We still don't have a
good enough idea of what you are doing to make more
definitive recommendations.
