[comp.sys.amiga] Changing Graphics Formats

I recently purchased DpaintIII, and being inexperienced with the Dpaint
trilogy, was a little more than disappointed to find that it is limited
to IFF images. I then vaguely recalled having seen the 'Load ILBM-Save
ACBM', 'Load ACBM', and 'Save ILBM' demos in the AmigaBasics drawer of
my Extras disk. Woe and behold, when I tried to load a HAM image, it bombed.
The line which creates the second screen was aluded to as being the problem
by the rubber band box. 'Time to haul out the paper' I thought as I reached
toward my manuals. As far as I can tell, it has no reason not to work. But
it doesn't. Theory would say that I can also reverse the process if I can
get a WORKING example, but would prefer to have such a program that was
written in C, not a flavor of basic. I also have yet to see a prog. that
will convert GIF to anything else and back. I profess to know better than
to say 'it cannot be had'. I hope I'm right. Anyone have programs such as
these, or know where I can get them?
Thanks in advance.

 Well it seem that an images.library is really needed:-).I just go a hold
of some GIF documentation and wouldnt mind add it to the library.
 C? why not ASM?....
