    Where is gifsicle?

    I just installed gifsicle, but can't find it in the Applications menu.

    Where did it go, and how do I start the program?

    I did it twice, just to make sure I didn't mess up the install. I also did a restart on the computer to see if it would show up. nothing...

    Actually, gifsicle is a command line tool.

    It's a command line program, it has no GUI, so it won't appear in your menu.

    OK...

    So is there an instruction manual or something somewhere so I can figure out how to use the program? Sorry to say, but just knowing that it is a command line program doesn't help me any. (I'm not good at command line stuff.) I didn't see any instructions available when I installed the program.

    You can start by reading its manpage:
    Code:
    man gifsicle

    Is there some easy way to print the entire manual? I only seem to be able to access a single window of information at a time.
