This isn't exactly an answer, but if you have the image tools installed, you should be able to convert GIF files to various other formats. On recent versions of the software, the image tools are an inst'able package, eoe2.sw.imagetools. You can use "fromgif" to translate GIF files to SGI RGB files, and "totiff" to translate SGI RGB files to TIFF: fromgif file.gif file.rgb totiff file.rgb file.tiff You can display SGI RGB files with "ipaste." I think that "bgpaste," which will let you display an RGB file as a background, is also part of the image tools. XV, as a previous poster mentioned, is also useful for this sort of thing. OK arthur
