     I've had the same problem.  Every time I try to run it, I get the message
to press a key when the screen turns white, but then nothing else happens.
I've been meaning to FTP it from somewhere, but haven't gotten around to it
yet.
     On the subject of FTP sites, I've been looking at the GIF-to-IFF packages,
and they all seem to use HAM or SHAM exclusively.  Some of the GIF pictures
(Basselope comes to mind) would look just fine in ExtraHalfBrite mode or lower.
Am I misreading the documentation, or are all of the converter programs HAM 
only?
