AmigaArts Forum on CompuServe has software to do all of these.  AMGIF can
transfer the GIF pictures to IFF.  We also have HAMGIF and VERTGIF.  More
recently, we have SHAMVIEW which converts GIF pictures to "sliced ham", 
and then displays them in very high resolution.  SHAMVIEW has been released
in two or three versions that are not totally compatible, so if you use it,
be sure to get the viewer in the same version as the picture you want to
show.
