On an Indigo (I'm not sure about the Iris) there is a utility
called 'fromgif' that converts a file from gif format to the
SGI native RGB format.
You can then use 'imgview' to look at the image.
To view the image:
fromgif file.gif file.rgb
imgview file.rgb
If you want to do more with the image, the Indigo provides quite
a few image processing applications in it's standard configuration.
To find out about them type 'man -k image'.
Enjoy
