	Tom Hudson had an article in one of the early issues of STart
magazine about conversion between IFF and Degas/Neochrome.  He
included programs that did a pretty complete job as far as I can
remember (a friend of mine who has an Amiga used Tom's descriptions 
of IFF to write some of his own IFF programs);  in fact, I think the
newer versions of Tom Hudson's programs may well have the capability 
to save IFF files.   So, to get to the point, someone ought to be able
to port the IFF2PS program from the Amiga to the ST, I can't think of
any reason it shouldn't just fly (after all, there isn't any screen
displaying involved, is there?).  Would someone who can get hold of
IFF2PS source (for the Amiga) mail it to me?  Thanks,

ps: is there a reason not to adopt IFF as a standard in the ST world
also?  At the very least, it should make it easier to send pictures
back and forth between machines, making it possible to do more direct
comparisons, and thus more entertaining machine bashing.. think of all
the fun we could have! 8^) 8^)
