Well, somebody named Mark Podlipec finally did it. I found a
GIF->IFF conversion utility in the AmigaArts forum on Compuserve last
weekend, and I'm sending it to xanth, where I assume it will be made
available for anonymous ftp shortly. Here's what I've found after a
few days of use:
Plusses: This thing does a bangup job of getting the colors
right when converting 256-color GIF images to IFF. There are 3
available options for color conversion, and all work far better than
using the HAMGIF display program.
Minuses: seems to screw up when the screen width of the GIF
image isn't the Amiga standard 320 or 640. I got garbage when I used
it to convert pics of other widths. Also, the 'unlace' utility in
the package doesn't give back all the buffers it mallocs. Since the
program came as executable-only, you'll have to live with the
limitations.
