I have gotten a large library of AMIGA graphic pictures and animation, but no longer have an AMIGA system. Are there any programs to view these files (pic, sham, dynamic ham, movie...) that run under msdos? Programs to convert to GIF,TIF, etc.? The only thing I've come up with so far is HAMVGA which did not work with most of the images I tried. ANY help (even a little) would be appreciated.

I have used this for my IFF's and HAMVGA for my ham pics without a problem - except if a ham is bigger, not all of it can be seen on a VGA screen. Also I have heard that a PC program that you would have to pay $ for is called, "Hijack" or simular. I believe this program will convert alot of Amiga stuff to view on a PC. You might try a PD screen capture program when you use PCVIEW or HAMVGA... >ANY help (even a little) would be appreciated. > >Eric Thompson >thompse@kepler.me.orst.edu <I refuse to sign in ASCII> -- guy@nsco.network.com // Guy Dandrea \\ // Network Systems Corp., Mpls.

It uses the ILBM format on Amiga IFF's and others, and it works. Scott
