[comp.sys.atari.st] spslidex

Greetings, all. I was wondering - I have a program called spslidex which
can view .spc, .spu. and .sps files. These are 'pseudo' 512-colour images
in low-resolution.

BGIF creates .spu files which always take 51k but I know that many of them
can be compressed. Ideally I would like to compress them to .spc, since
that seems to be standard, but .sps is okay too, since it is a bit more
compact.

Well, I have NO IDEA how to convert them to .SPC, and spslidex doesn't do
too good of a job converting to .SPS, as I usually end up getting
'blotches' of black all over the picture, after the conversion,
and converting it back to .spu still leaves the blotches in the picture!!!

I should say that spslidex works great converting from .spc to .sps, but it
hasn't worked ONCE for me converting from .spu to .sps

Is there a newer version of spslidex out there? or a different program
which does the conversion?
