Dear ROOTers!

I tried to create gif-file in a standalone program without graphics via call
TPad::Print("filename.gif","gif") and got the message:

Cannot create gif file in batch mode.

It's not big problem (well, realy this is not problem at all :) ) 
because I can create PostScript file. But I'm curious: why there exist 
that limitation?

With best wishes,
Alexander Zvyagin.
