If you are interested in a VERY good converter program that does IFF, GIF,
TARGA and many others, please send mail to troyb@pro-graphics.cts.com.  He has
put together a very *FAST* converter that will handle everything you are
talking about and more.  He can give you more details on it.  

As for IFF -> TARGA, isn't that a bit strange..it's going to be a bit
difficult to change say a 6 or 12 bit image into a 16 bit image and I don't
even know why you would want to.  We've mostly concentrated on moving images
the OTHER way around.  Seems more useful to use a TARGA capture in a Turbo
Silver or some other package as a map then to move TO a TARGA.  At any rate,
this program will also take 24 bit images rendered in Sculpt or Turbo and
convert them directly to TARGA, ICB or VISTA images.  Quite impressive.  You
should see some of the Sculpt scenes rendered to 24 bit files and converted to
the TARGA.  Quite awesome!
