If you happen to have a NeXT around (and you just might, Mike), check out iff2tiff (available in /pub/next/2.0-release/binaries on nova.cc.purdue.edu). It converts IFF files to TIFF; it recognizes the normal 2..256 color IFFs as well as halfbrite, HAM, and 24-bit Toaster images. The output files are 12 or 24 bit color files which are recognized by NeXT (obviously) and most of the better Macintosh & IBM TIFF readers... Ali, Ali_Ozer@NeXT.com

It converts IFF files to TIFF; it recognizes the And if you happen to have an IBM compatible around, there are two very good shareware programs available that will handle many graphics formats. They are called VPIC and Graphics Workshop. Graphics Workshop can convert just about any existing graphics format to any other format, including TIFF, IFF, MacPaint, and GIF (there are several others). -- _ |__ Alex Matulich /(+__> Unicorn Research Corp, 4621 N Landmark Dr, Orlando, FL 32817 //| \ UUCP: alex@bilver.uucp <or> ...uunet!tarpit!bilver!alex ///__) bitnet: IN%"bilver!alex@uunet.uu.net"

Graphics Workshop is very nice, I like it mostly for the flexible display driver system where you can easily write your own in assm, but it doesn't handle IFF very well at all. The best I've seen is Image Alchemy, and it is expensive shareware (crippleware) and will only work at up to 640x480 until you register (cutting out DHR).

Well, I have written a IFF -> BMP (Windows 3.x format) program which is PD. It's easily modified to convert other types as well. Clean C ! Write me and you can get it. It's also available on ab20.
