| Paint Shop Pro will do it (Windows). Not sure what the current cost is on it. I have an old version that works pretty well. |

| You could try this one. I'm pretty sure it's the same program I started with. It's very easy to use. |

The GIMP can do it. I made my avatar with it. As you can guess from that fact that I am posting it, the GIMP is free/libre/opensource software.

I have used the GIMP, but that's overkill, to my mind.
I use a tiny command shell utility called "gifsicle", which gives direct control over just about every detail.
I used it (with a serendipitous bug) to make these 13 GIFs:

There is the ImageMagick tool 'animate'; I've used it in the past with good results

Illustrator Photoshop & Imageready. It's a little complex but you can do some really amazing things with it if you know what you're doing.
