[comp.sys.amiga] IFF converter

Does anyone out there have an IFF to SIXEL file converter for the purpose
of displaying IFF files on a VT240? Thanks.

I'm looking for a (PD/shareware/freeware) IFF to raw binary converter 
that will take a DPaint brush, and turn it into binary data, taking into
account the brush size. The converter I use at present requires me to
drag a box around the image, and it's pretty hard to get the size
right with the mouse.

Ta.

Keep your eyes open, I will be posting a set of IFF tools to c.b.a soon
including one to turn Dpaint ILBM brushes into Data files containing data
that can be read straight into a BOB or IMAGE struct for use in programs.

I will include a game that demonstrates the use of all of the tools.
Includes

	ILBM2bm -  Produce a data file from an ILBM Brush.
	ILBM2C  -  Procuce C data declaration from an ILBM brush.
	IFFS2Raw - Produce a data file for an 8SVX sound sample.

The code is all finished, I am working on the docs. All source will be included
in the distribution and is all Public Domain.

Hope This helps.
