Does anyone have a gif to 24bit iff convertor. Is there one out. I have TAD (So I should just purchase the GIF loader right?)..anyways...I need a GIF to 24bit IFF soon (for a 24bit color display I am creating using the HAM-E) Ijust ordered my HAM_E and am eagerly awaiting it (finally) :-) John J Bryant Student Computer User Consultant University of Alaska Anchorage Discalimer: What did I say???

You can probably ask Ed Hanaway(?) more about that as I believe he is the author. -- Bob ______ Pro-Graphics BBS `It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!' ________ UUCP: crash!pro-graphics!bobl | Pro-Graphics: 908/469-0049 ARPA/DDN: pro-graphics!bobl@nosc.mil | America Online: Graphics3d Internet: bobl@pro-graphics.cts.com | CompuServe: RIP _________ ___________ Raven Enterprises 25 Raven Avenue Piscataway, NJ 08854

HAMLAB does convert GIF to a temporary 24-bit file as an intermediate step to HAM conversion. Alas, the 24-bit file format is not IFF, but rather a very simple format (a few bytes of header followed by a raw 24-bit RGB dump). You can run the HAMLAB GIF convertor by itself to create this file (gif2hl <file.gif > file.24bit) but it will take a little (probably very little) work to convert it the results to 24-bit IFF format.

There are several programs available to do this. I have seen (may have) a program that makes 24-bit files from Gif files, if I find it I shall upload it to newxanth. Also, a program called RGBXchange will convert various formats of 24-bit (i.e. Gif, targa, sculpt, etc..) On the commercial side, The Art Dept. does an excellant job!! -Duane

I think I have it around here somewhere. It could be use to convert them to 24 bit files, but of course it is now IFF standardized. Byron Guernsey

The FBM package will very blindly take a 24 bit .GIF and create a 24-BIT IFF even though most viewers cannot handle it... More importantly, the FBCAT program used to do the above does not pay much attention to resolution, it just passes the data through unmolested... If find this to be a great way to take .GIFs and print them on my 24Pin color printer at 360DPI by running the resulting IFF picture through PageStream which will utilize my printer's resolution and will print 24bit IFF's +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | LEON D.
