Does anyone know of a program that will convert iffs or gifs to bitmaps that are usable on the Sun Sparcstation? ANY help is appreciated... Christopher Walton cmw1725@tamsun.tamu.edu

I 've done it on a Sun 3/60 and discovered that the rasters displayed fine on a SPARC. See the screenload utility. Sorry, don't recall which Fish they were but the programs were IFF2Sun and IFFTOSUN. I would be surprised if they don't compile OK on a SPARC. -- internet: tbissett@nstar.rn.com -or- tbissett%nstar@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!tbissett -or- ..!uunet!nstar!tbissett NSTAR Public Access 219-289-0287 * 1293 newsgroups * 7 inbound lines

The people who wrote it were COMPLETE BOZOs and had absolutely NO clue of what they doing. In fact I heard that during the conversion, the program inserts obscene subliminal images into your Sun rasterfile. No sir, I wouldn't trust those guys at all! %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com % % ' Image ` ...!{decvax,uunet}!masscomp!mark % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It offers conversions between virtually any and all graphic formats on any computer. PD.
