Does anyone have/know of a program to convert atari st high res pictures and convert them to an Amiga format (IFF or similar)? Does anyone have/know of a program that will convert HAM pictures on the Amiga to Sun raster format? Does anyone know where I can find out just what the specifications for IFF format are? I could write my own if I knew. I have the IFF2Sun program, but this seems very limited in that it will not do HAM pictures. (from ff174). Any info &/or sources (if pd) would be appreciated. -Mark. -- ________________________________________________________________ Mark Kennedy | AT&T: (612) 649-1119 Control Data Corporation | E-Mail: mek@punjab.udev.cdc.com All opinions expressed are my own and bear no relation to fact.

By hi-res, do you mean monochrome or color? Oh well, no matter, I'm just curious. Anyway, there's a program which I saw (& have, I think 9-) called PICSWTCH for the Atari ST, which will convert various resolution pictures from the ST to various interesting formats (I don't remember all of them, but there was quite a list). You may want to get a hold of it. >Does anyone have/know of a program that will convert >HAM pictures on the Amiga to Sun raster format? > >Does anyone know where I can find out just what the >specifications for IFF format are?

As I recall, the specs for IFF are listed in one of the RKMs (I don't have them, so I don't know which). But, I also remember it being covered by one of the magazines (maybe Amiga Transactor, in an early issue?). > -Mark. >-- >________________________________________________________________ >Mark Kennedy | AT&T: (612) 649-1119 >Control Data Corporation | E-Mail: mek@punjab.udev.cdc.com >All opinions expressed are my own and bear no relation to fact.

I have just been reading IFF documentation up the proverbial wazoo, found on FF #16. It's the 1985 info, so there's probably some newer stuff, but that'd be one place to start... I believe the disk also contains C source for routines to manipulate (i.e. read, write, etc. etc.) IFF files for all sorts of entities including ILBM bitmaps. Once you get 'em IN using THESE routines, you can write whatever output handling you feel like... -- UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!cfchiesa cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP

There is a program called multiview which will display atari pictures, iff's and I think macintosh pics as well. It may be on a bbs near you. -Bob

It is write-only (i.e. unreadable) baroque gobbledegook. Unless you can understand it (which, from all indications, is doubtful), you will get nowhere with it. #define SHAMELESS_PLUG What's more, if I get my wish, that code will be officially declared as obsolete, and be replaced by the Ferguson/Schwab IFF parser. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.
