Forum OpenACS Development: Response to workflow still uses graphviz and asks it to build GIF files...

You don't need to use graphviz in order to use workflow, there's an HTML output alternative, though the graphical output is nicer.

There are also a bunch of static GIF files in the toolkit.

On my standard Linux box I see that Squid, Apache (mod_perl, mod_ssl), Mozilla, Grass, Latex, and Linuxconf all contain static GIF files.  And the unofficial Linux penguin found in /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/Documentation is a GIF file ...

I would humbly suggest we have bigger fish to fry than to worry about this.
