Does anyone know of the avaliablity of an Xwindow Iff file viewer? I actually have Iff(2|to)Sun from fish223 to convert to rasterfile, and Am2Gif to use to produce stuff that I can use 'xgif' on to view on the IPCs here, but Am2Gif is annoying in that it spews at Dpaint DPPS chunks in a file, and thus I have to waste time going thru Vdraw (fish 50 something (54?)) to get rid of them. Gif isn't too bad I suppose as it seems to have good compression (some 640x200x4plane pics by Patrick Nagel around 30K on IFF took around 10K on gif) - LZW I think.

You could also use the program "xv". It is easily expandable to suit almost any picture format. All that is required is that the picture be read into a buffer (or array...) and that you tell xv what the depth, width, and height of the picture are. I use it on my Sun with a modification for a local format we use. It lets you read GIF, PBM, and X bitmaps, and allows you to save these as well. Thus it could also be used as a conversion utility. The source should be available at any comp.windows.x archive. If you do not have access to FTP, reply and I'll send a you a uuencoded version through mail.
