Or the library! The GIF spec was published in a magazine IIRC. I wrote a GIF viewer that supported CGA, EGA, VGA, ... displays.


The library had some things, but man things were moving so fast in the late 80s early 90s that you often had to buy the books you needed directly; because by the time they appeared in the library you'd be on to something else.

The right magazines were worth their weight in gold back then, for sure.
