Using PSP I was able to get sifgnificant improvment in your images by taking
the large image increasing the colr depth to 16 mil and then making repeated
resamplings. Decrease the color back 256 and save as gifs. Resampling is
always better than resizing and incrimental resampling adds more detail.
