Well, I've told this to a lot of people in private EMail, so I may as well post
it to the net. I want GIF 3200 to be the best conversion program for pictures
with more than 16 colors in the color map. TO that end, I'm trying to collect
formats (IFF, whaever.) My problem is that I don't have any pictures other
than GIF's. What I need to support these extra formats are: a) format specs and
b) sample pictures. If you'd like to see me support a format, please send me
some sample pics on a 3.5" GS disk, along with at least a note saying which
format this is and why I should support it, as well as any leads you can
offer to help me track down the format specs. My address is:

Also, it might be agood idea to send me EMail beforehand so that II can tell
you if I've already gotten 15 disks of IFF pics, so you don't have to send
another. Thanks!!
