[comp.graphics] Targa and IFF to Sun 3\60

870646c@aucs.UUCP ('Barry Comer') (02/01/89)

Hi all, I need to locate some info or a program that will allow me to 
display IFF and Targa images on our Sun 3\60. I have on prg. that came
from the Amiga news group which will create sun files from IFF pics, the
only problem is that all colour information is lost resulting in a b\w 
picture. In the source code for this program they refer to two prgs called:
rasfilter8to1   
rastrep1
After looking in the bin directory on our Sun 4\280 I located a listing for 
these programs, but after a closer look I see that these are only links to the 
screendump program, my question is this "Is this normal or are we missing the
programs?". When I try to call them I get an error saying that they do not
exist.

If you could offer any help to solve this problem please pass it onto me.

Thanks in advance
Barry Comer

Steve Berry and I wrote the code to convert Amiga IFF files to Sun
rasterfiles. I have since modified it to improve monochrome contrast
and include color with a '-c' switch. I submitted it to the Amiga
moderator some time ago but I don't know if it ever got posted.
I can send you a copy if you like.
