animated gif creation

[Peter Howell <p.howell74@rcn.com>]

I've just been full of problems this week.  Now here is another one. 
I've captured a series of short avis which I'd like to import into an
openoffice presentation.  Unfortunately, openoffice will only accept
animated gifs.  My choices are now

1)	Find a conversion package to let me create the animated gifs, or

2)	Import the movies one $&%*# frame at a time and use the openoffice
animation tool.  

Needless to say, I thought I'd check with you folks before I spent to
much time on option 2.  Does anyone know of software which can either

1) convert jpeg to gif.  Then I could assemble the gifs with gifsicle,
or

2) covert avi files (raw data or riff) directly to animated gifs.

Thanks for all the help,

Peter
