2775.0. "IBM to Amiga Pictures." by STKAI2::SMEDBERG () Fri Jul 28 1989 14:32

    Is there a PD-Program that converts VGA(IBM-PC) to HAM(Amiga) or
    EGA(IBM-PC) to Amiga format. And a program to convert back to IBM
    from Amiga pictures......

	Try GIF, the Grapic Interchange Format by CompuServe. It will convert serveral formats into GIF and back. It should be on a Fish disk, but I don't have my catalog file online... On the commercial side, there's DPaint for MS-DOS and a very nice converter program called "Hijack". Hope that helps, <CB>

	Haven't tried it, but ran across PCVIEW on FF164. It sounds like it might help in the Amiga --> IBM direction. See excerpt from read-me file below. I found it at; TAPE::USER1:[AMIGA.FISH.FF164] PCVIEW.ZOO Jerry " PC-View provides the PC community with the oppurtunity to display IFF pictures to the best of EGA's ability. Use PC-View to display Amiga pics, IBM-PC Deluxe Paint Pics, Apple II-GS Deluxe Paint Pics, and any others that adhere to the IFF standard. PC-View tries to be intelligent about how it displays things, so don't assume that your graphic hardware can't possibly display those 1Kx1Kx8 Sun Workstation dumps. (!) It will do the best it can. Needless to say, VGA is much less challenging. ..."
