[magick-users] Problem creating animated GIFs on Windows

[Mark Jackson]

Thanks for the suggestion Fred.

I didn't compile IM, I downloaded it last year from www.imagemagick.org/. I 
suppose I should try the latest version - probably should have done that 
before bothering you guys.

I can't see a DELEGATES line in the output from that command - see below.

C:\>convert -list configure

Path: C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.2.8-Q16\config\configure.xml
