I have some questions about image formats and the Atari SLM
804 laserprinter:

I.	What does IMG image format look like.

II.	What does IFF image format look like.

III.	How does one send an NxM bit image to the SLM printer.
	Think of Degas format, but in my particular case much
	bigger.

IV.	The local Atari dealer told me that spooling to the laser
	printer involves writting assembler code to access the DMA
	port. Does anybody have written this code, or written
	a higher level language (C) library routine.
