Check out the sci.space newsgroup; there has been a *LOT* of discussion on
the Voyager II flyby, and there was one or two FTP sources of digitized
photos given there recently, although they were either Sun Raster format or
Encapsulated PostScript, if my memory serves me correctly.  But then, I
believe we have ways of converting these to IFF or GIF.

If you, or anyone else, has any Voyager pictures out there, please post where
you are.  I can't ftp from the machine I'm on, but I have occasional access
to a machine that does, and I'll be checking out the sources that were
mentioned in sci.space, and let you know what I find out (for the record, the
one with the EPS files is hanauma.stanford.edu, with the files in
pub/neptune).

Good luck!
