Since someone replied to my request for a ray-tracer for the IBM PC, I've picked up the suggested program from alfred.ccs.carleton.ca. The program is called dkbtrace. Anyway, it produces TARGA format output files. Does anyone know where I can get a TARGA to GIF (or TIFF, or PIC) convertor?

Well, I don't know of a TGA to GIF converter but there are pleanty of TGA to
VGA converters. Once you have the image converted to VGA, you can easily
convert it to GIF. I would suggest a program called TEGA by Videotex Systems.
It will convert TGA images to all EGA and VGA resolutions up to 800x600x256.
It saves them out as .PCX files (PC Paintbrush). From there you can use a
program such as VPIC to convert your images to GIF.

Actually, I forgot to mention that VPIC (Shareware?) is supposed to read in
.TGA files and be able to convert them to GIF format. The version I had of
VPIC (ver 2.4) however, didn't read in the .TGA files correctly. I believe
there is a more recent version. Have the problems with reading .TGA files
been fixed?
-- Bob
Does anyone know the latest version of VPIC?

The latest version is always available on CompuServe in the PICS forum.
