so it sounds as if you may not be familiar with existent to*.c and from*.c 
files in /usr/people/4Dgifts/iristools/imgtools.  this subdir belongs to
the "dev.sw.giftssrc" subsystem.  if you don't have it--or the entire
/usr/people/4Dgifts subtree--loaded on your system you need to load it
from the DEVelopment tape using the INST(1M) software installation tool.  
check yer Release notes for info regarding this subsystem and its 
contents and the procedures for loading it.

               the current set of available from/to *.c 
               files in ~4Dgifts/iristools/imgtools are:

    fromalias.c   fromdi.c      fromtarga.c   tobw.c        toscitex.c
    frombin.c     fromqtl.c     toalias.c     tonews.c      totarga.c
    fromcmap.c    fromrla.c     tobin.c       tops.c

there are a significantly larger number of from/to *.c files than these 
currently on the drawing boards/being considered for inclusion in the 
imgtools subdir, and their eventual incorporation is slated for the next 
major software release *after* 3.3.X.  fromgif.c and togif.c are among the 
programs we intend to include in this expanded set of conversion programs.
