Naaaaaahhhhhh Dude. IFF is a standard for storing data in the form of
nested packets(Chunks we call them). ILBM(Interleaved BitMap) is a
FORM type for IFF files. All the Amiga graphics packages save out as
IFF ILBMs.

To answer the question, there is an IFF converter available from
Purdue, named something like iff2tiff, or something like that.
Tpying this on the 486PC so I'm Digital Librarian-less. <*I WANT MY
NeXTStep 486i, *WHINE* *> Even handles 24 Bit ASDGs if I remember.
