Yes, I just got my copy of HIJAAK today. It'll convert IFF, and a few
dozen other formats back and forth. It'll also convert *to* Postscript
and Encapsulated Postscript. 

It's from a company called Inset Systems. I got my copy from Micropro
as part of my "Wordstar Productivity Pack".

Formats:
Amiga				IFF
CCITT Group 3 			FAX
				GIF
Dr. Halo			CUT
Fax Manager			XFX
GEM Paint			IMG
HP Laserjet			PCL
HP Plotter			PGL
HiJaak				PIX
Inset				PIX
JetFAX				XFX
Lotus 123			PIC
MacPaint			MAC
Microsoft Windows Paint 1.0	MP1
Microsoft Windows Paint 2.0	MSP
NewsMaster			SHP
PC Paintbrush			PCX
PostScript (Encapsulated)	EPS	(destination only)
PostScript (Unencapsulated)	PSC	(destination only)
PostScript (color printers)	CPS	(destination only)
Printmaster			PM
Ricoh				RIC
TeliFax "5000"			MH
The Complete PC			CPF
The EFax			XFX
The Intel Connection		MCX
TIFF (Compressed)		CTF
TIFF (Uncompressed)		TIF
WordPerfect			WPG

PIC & PGL can be converted *to* anything else. They can only be the
destination format of each other (ie you can convert PIC -> PGL and
PGL -> PIC, but not say, IFF -> PGL) This because they're vector formats.

-----------
I'm not sure what some of those format *are* but it's gonna handle most
of my conversions.
