The viewer and conversion programs should be on several BBS but if you really need them I'll try to get them together and e-mail/post them. Monty Saine

I am looking for software that will convert IFF to MAC type format and vice versa. Could anyone please tell me where to find it? E-Mail,please. Marc Rifkin ...R38@PSUVM (814) 867-4837

AMGIF can transfer the GIF pictures to IFF. We also have HAMGIF and VERTGIF. More recently, we have SHAMVIEW which converts GIF pictures to "sliced ham", and then displays them in very high resolution. SHAMVIEW has been released in two or three versions that are not totally compatible, so if you use it, be sure to get the viewer in the same version as the picture you want to show.

What exactly is this "sliced HAM" format, anyway?

"Sliced HAM" (or, "SHAM") is a trick used on a HAM-mode screen to give the illusion of better pictures. In a normal HAM picture, the palette of 4,096 colors is set, and then a single register (R, G, or B) is changed from one horizontal pixel to the next. SHAM pictures modify the palette to a NEW 4,096 colors for every scan line, so colors from one scan line to the next have a larger variety of colors to choose from. To be honest, I can't see much difference between SHAM and HAM pictures, but as long as there are pictures in any format that I want to view, I'll keep getting the viewers for 'em. +-------///---------------------------------------------------------\\\-------+ | /// Brett Kessler \\\ | | /// ============= \\\ | | \\\/// E-Mail to: consp11@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu \\\/// | | \XX/ and to: consp11@bingvaxa.BITNET \XX/ | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Sure do... I use a program called gif2iff. It works fine and I got the file off
of a local area bbs here in Huntsville, Al. There is also one that converts from
IFF to GIF (iff2gif)....CHECK YOUR LOCAL BBS systems!!!
