Steve Wilhite
Steve Wilhite of CompuServe was the engineering lead on the team that adapted the GIF file format, which went on to become the de facto standard for 8-bit images on the Internet until the late 1990s.〔 〕
==Biography==
Wilhite remained on the CompuServe/AOL payroll into the first decade of the 21st century, working on a variety of CompuServe systems. These included CompuServe's wire protocols, such as CompuServe Host-Micro Interface (HMI) and CompuServe B protocol for the CompuServe Information Manager (CIM), new service features in the early 1990s, Web chat software in the late 1990s, and investigating Web community models until his departure after being disabled by a stroke.〔 〕 He has since partially recovered.
Prior to work with CompuServe Information Manager he ran a team that created compilers and run-time systems for use on the DECsytem-10 computers that were the major computing platforms used by CompuServe. Most notable were the Fortran and BASIC compilers and run-time systems and a substantial library called "BTOOLS" to support BLISS programming.
Wilhite's name comes up frequently in debate over the pronunciation of the GIF acronym.〔 “The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations,” Mr. Wilhite said. “They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.”〔
