[comp.sys.sgi] Converting iris image files to Utah RLE toolkit format

msr@gator.cacs.usl.edu (Srinivas R. Manapragada) (05/29/91)

Hi,

	I have a number of image files created through icut/snapshot, I
need to convert them to the Utah rle toolkit format. I have the toolkit,
and I tried a roundabout way in which I converted the iris format to the 
targa format and then onto rle, but it didn't work. Any and all help will
be very much appreciated.

	

Thanks in advance.

The San Diego Supercomputer Center has recently released a tool for
converting among a number of image formats. Quote from their man page:

     imconv supports the following 20 image file formats:
