[comp.sys.amiga] IFF -> GIF

Many thanks to those who helped with my recent posting IFF2PS source available?? I
was able to run a converter on my Unix system (after making some modifications to
some apparent bugs) and now that works...

But now, I find myself quite unable to locate an IFF->GIF converter. I recall
reading about one on the Fish disks some time ago but wasn't able to find it in
the descriptions I have ... Could someone send me either the Amiga binary or
Unix source/binary for something that'd do this task...

Thanks in advance...

I need a utility to convert Amiga IFF to GIF.  Here's the catch: I want to
be able to view the IFF file first, decide if it's what I want, and then
simply pull down a menu for the conversion.  Does such a beast exist in
the Public Domain?  How about commercial products?  Does anything do this?

Thanks,
Parker

I suggest you try ADPro from ASDG or The Art Department also from ASDG.  These
programs allow for the loading and saving of almost any format you can come up
with.  I use AdPro to do conversions automaticaly from one format to another
and also to change both the color and screen resolutions at the same time.  I  
do this with the arexx port and find that there is very little cleanup necessary
for any of the images when I batch process over two hundred at a time.

An excelent product for doing multi-platform/format develpoment of images.
