Does anyone know of an ftp site for Australian satellite images in gif format (I don't have a .jpg viewer). I'm particularly after weather sat. pics (preferably current) and landsat-type images of SW Australia. Thanks Mike Mike van Keulen School of BES - Biology Murdoch University (e-mail: keulen@murdoch.edu.au)

Is there some program that I must have to convert from ILBM format to gif? Thanks...Gene--
