 Not a viewer, but a real good converter.
 Get HamSharp2.0 form abcfd20.nasa.gov (I'm not real sure of the name but I
know that the number is: 128.155.23.64) It cleanly converts GIFs to IFFs and
allows several different options. Unfortunatley:
 1) It seems to convert ALL files to ham (hence the name, I guess :)
    So, if you have a 640x400x16 GIF it goes to a 320x400xHAM instead of
    640x400x16 which would yield a better picture. 
 2) It has a bug: It occasional screws up the compression. (That's the exact
    word that my iff viewer uses 8) You can use the -c switch to turn off the
    compression and everything works fine. However, this bug crashes every
    viewer I have except for SHOW which tells me the compression is screwed up.
 3) Another possible bug: Sometimes, even with the -c option, SHOW tells me
    that it can't load plane0. I don't know how to get around this. Sorry.
    Hey! Wait! Maybe someone else does! Genius! :)

OH Silly me: HamSharp is in the /incoming/amiga/ drawer.

Could anyone please email me this program (can't ftp)! I also have
problem with my archive/decompress programs lost in a crash, so
uudecode is the only of those programs left.

Thanks in advance,
