Animated GIFs - How to Seperate?

I was using a site on the net which supplies 2d sprites - howver most seem to come as animated GIFs. e.g 'a man running to the left'. When I loaded it into paint it only displayed one frame of the image. How can I get all the frames into one image?
I don't know much (if anything) about image file formats. Please help . Thank you very much.

Do you want to do this in Bmax or are you asking a general question. If the latter then you'll do better not asking in a forum dedicated to Bmax. Anyway, use an Internet search engine on something like gif2bmp, gi2pmg or whatever and they'll be free programs.

FreeImage lets you load anim gifs and access the frames independently.
