Has anyone seen a program that will convert pictures from the Amiga's iff format to the standard gif format? Thanks... ******************************************************* * Wayne Haber (201) 530-1831 Home * * bellcore.com!nvuxh!sprout (201) 758-5965 Work * **######################################################### # When a ball dreams, it dreams it is a frisbee # #########################################################

It'll convert IFF, and a few dozen other formats back and forth. It'll also convert *to* Postscript and Encapsulated Postscript. It's from a company called Inset Systems. I got my copy from Micropro as part of my "Wordstar Productivity Pack". Formats: Amiga IFF CCITT Group 3 FAX GIF Dr. Halo CUT Fax Manager XFX GEM Paint IMG HP Laserjet PCL HP Plotter PGL HiJaak PIX Inset PIX JetFAX XFX Lotus 123 PIC MacPaint MAC Microsoft Windows Paint 1.0 MP1 Microsoft Windows Paint 2.0 MSP NewsMaster SHP PC Paintbrush PCX PostScript (Encapsulated) EPS (destination only) PostScript (Unencapsulated) PSC (destination only) PostScript (color printers) CPS (destination only) Printmaster PM Ricoh RIC TeliFax "5000" MH The Complete PC CPF The EFax XFX The Intel Connection MCX TIFF (Compressed) CTF TIFF (Uncompressed) TIF WordPerfect WPG PIC & PGL can be converted *to* anything else. They can only be the destination format of each other (ie you can convert PIC -> PGL and PGL -> PIC, but not say, IFF -> PGL) This because they're vector formats. ----------- I'm not sure what some of those format *are* but it's gonna handle most of my conversions. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.

The message from Leonard Erickson identified HiLack as converting grtaphics. Wher can I buy this, and how much does it cost? Steve

There are a couple of IFF -> GIF conversion programs in the PD. I don't think
they will convert from GIF to IFF but you can easily do that with a screen
capture program (There are several of those around). The most notable IFF to
GIF converters I know of are called IFFGIF and HAMGIF. Obviously IFFGIF does
standard IFF images and HAMGIF is a HAM specific converter. I'm not sure
where you will be able to find these but I would suggest Compuserve or my
system which is located in NJ at 201/469-0049. You may be able to pick them
up in a binaries lib somewhere on the net.

The best one I have seen for converting from GIF to IFF is AMGIF. It does HAM conversions to 256 color GIFS, and does a good job of it too!
