ART file viewer?

A friend has sent me a .ART image file. I tried it in GraphicConverter 2.6
(my current version) which tells me that it is Scitex CT format, 9x3x32bit.
This gives me a teeny weeny coloured patch.

In fact the file is 68k, and represents a whole bunch of EMI album covers;
my friend tells me that IE4 can read the .ART format but nothing else of
his will do so. He's going to send me a screen shot instead.

As I wait for Dispatches to bring me IE4 for the Mac, is there a recent
version of Gr-Converter that will read these things?

Current version is 3.1.1 but I had a quick look and it won't save it as an
.ART file.
It might open it? I will have a quick read... stayed tuned.

This might be a bug in GC - you might try the latest version, and if you
get the same problem, try emailling the author with the problem.  He's
quite good and fixing that kind of trouble.

Oh goody. Which version is that, please? A URL would be nice as well?

As for a 68k MacGS... My latest info-mac list has:

prn/mac-gs-252b3.hqx

Mine is v.1.0 (!) but it works fine. It is however ppc only. I don't know
about the later version. Sorry.

Mind you, I thought it was a post from you (collectively) that said that
the 68k version was "flakier than a very flaky thing" so I assumed there
was one about...

Later versions I don't mind about; PPC only is a bit of a bugger,
though.  Oh well - thanks anyway.

Ah, but I've got Mac GS Viewer 5.10, which is different; I was hoping
that you had some info on a *different* version, which might less
inclined to freeze my Mac ever time I do something unreasonable like
move the console window, or try and open a file...
