- 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.
