}Or should I just forget it!

	Look at the public domain PBMPLUS program posted to alt.sources
a while ago. This program contains converters to and from a variety of
formats and explains each format. The format for IFF is converted using
the "ilbm" programs. I have heard of HAM to IFF and IFF to HAM but I don't
personaly have an amiga or access to HAM software.
