VPIC 2.8 (and probably previous versions) says that it can handle "Deluxe
Paint LBM (IFF)" format files as well as many other formats for pictures.
VPIC is a shareware graphics viewer.  I think "LBM" is the abbreviated
extension for an ILBM (Interleaved Bitmap) file.

I just got VPIC recently and haven't tried it, so your mileage may vary.

IFF files aren't all graphics images, either.  The IFF file format is an
extensible "standard" that can also handle sounds, music, text and other
information.  Too bad it isn't more popular than it is (except on Amiga).
