I'm using a program called Vision Lab to convert files from various
graphics formats to other formats.  It works well, but has some
features inactivated as it is a DEMO version.  I am willing to pay $$$
for the full version, but can't.  Here's why:

I got the program from Educorp, a shareware clearing house (before I
knew about ftp, sumex-aim archives, etc) and have seen it now in
sumex-aim, but nowhere have I found a way to contact the author. The
program was written by John Raymonds.  He gives a GEnie address as
"RAYMONDS" and CompuServe "Delphi: JONES CIS: 76174, 205", but I don't
have a modem (I have a hardwire 9600 baud connection in my room).

Does anyone know where I can reach John Raymonds?  A snail mail
address?  Does anyone know where to get a later or complete version of
Vision Lab?  Finally, are their any other programs out there that can
do the things I use this program for? It converts GIF, Macpaint, Pixel
Paint, EPSF, PICT, PICT resources, and Greymap files. The full version
is supposed to support TIFF and allow greater modification capabilities.
I can't use Vision since I currently only have a four bit (16 color) 
video card.  Hopefully this will change over Christmas.

Thanks for any information.
