I edit a good IFF file (lo-res or hi-res) by filling the background color to white, transfer it to a Sun4 with Kermit (binary mode), run a program iff2sun to convert it to a Sun raster file and it aborts with a core dump. Also, I wrote a program that converts IFF files to Apollo bitmap files. It uses the PD ifflib stuff and I get the message: No BODY data. These all work fine with IFF files edited with DeluxePaint II. Obviously, DPIII is making assumptions that I don't take in account. Before jumping into a dump of the file, I thought someone in net-land must know the answer. Funny thing, some files that I create in DPIII work just fine!? -- _____ _ "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence" {____/ // "over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." \ // _ __Richard P.
