-
- Forget this ... ILBM is not old or anything like this, ILBM is the
- absolut correct name for the Amiga picture file format. The whole
- system is called IFF (Interchange File Format). The first four bytes
- inside the file specify the type. ILBM is an InterLeaved BitMap - an
- image. There are a lot of other IFF file types for text, sound, voice,
- animation, etc.
-
- To convert IFF ILBMs to TIFF use the shell application "iff2tiff". It
- can be found on several ftp servers. You may also use Jef Poskanzer's
- "pbmplus" package (from ftp servers, too).
