Are there any PD programs capable of displaying (or converting to
Degas, Neo, etc) pictures in IFF or GIF format? I'm more interested in
GIF than in IFF (note: I don't have access to Compuserve.).

If you grab a "block" of the screen, then this can be saved in IFF format by saving it out as a brush file. i.e. extension "BL1" (I think) Mark Powell ******************************************************************************** "...I hate the white JANET unpowell@uk.ac.liv.csvax man, and the man UUCP {backbone}!mcvax!ukc!mupsy!liv-cs!unpowell who turned you all ARPA unpowell%csvax.liv.ac.uk@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk loose..."

It is becoming very popular in the MS-DOS world, and will be the file format of choice in OS/2. Perhaps we should strive for this additional bit of compatibility. The spec for it, I am told, is huge. There is a good article about TIFF in the latest (May 88?) Dr. Dobb's Journal. It is a pretty good explanation of what TIFF includes, and includes addresses/phone numbers for getting more information, including the TIFF library for MS-DOS and Mac (free!). -- /\ - "Against Stupidity, - {backbones}! /\/\ . /\ - The Gods Themselves - utah-cs!uplherc! / \/ \/\/ \ - Contend in Vain." - sp7040!obie! / U i n T e c h \ - Schiller - wes
