Does anyone know of some code or tutorial that will teach me how to generate a gif image without using GD?
Thanks!

there are other api that support gifs, e.g. http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick and from the imagemagick site:
that's better than nothing, isn't it?Note that since Unisys claims a patent on the LZW algorithm (expiring world-wide as of June 2004) used by GIF, ImageMagick binary distributions do not include support for the LZW algorithm so GIF files are written uncompressed. Users are recommended to use the PNG or JPEG formats instead, and should consult the Unisys LZW web page before enabling LZW support.
