[alt.graphics.pixutils] FAQ info needed: IBM / Mac image conversion utilities

jef@ace.ee.lbl.gov (Jef Poskanzer) (01/11/91)

The list of image-conversion software in the FAQ is strongly biased
towards Unix.  I would like to add sections covering the the IBM and
Mac worlds.  Scanning the net for the past few weeks, I've come up
with a few references:

    Giffer: sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6), in info-mac/graphics
    VUIMG: wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74), pd1:<msdos.gif>vuimg275.zip
    Piclab: simtel, pd1:<msdos.graphics>piclb182.zip
    Graphics Workshop (grafwkNN): location unknown

I'd appreciate pointers to any other candidates.  Also, short descriptions
of each package, including the above four, would be helpful.  Thanks.

Why bother?  Neither can do any sort of serious image work without
a major overhaul.  You should, however, add a big section on the Amiga.

Add :-)'s where appropriate...

Yes, I'm sorry I forgot about the Amiga.  So send me some Amiga entries.
