The DKB (ray tracer) software is (slow but) great! I was even
able to compile it for my IBM compatible and happy to see that
the same .dis file was created.

Unfortunately I could not manage to run DumpToIFF. I have an
A500 with 1 MB and 2 floppies. I try with several types of
Workbench diskettes and different setups but I always have
the same result and NO IFF file available.

When running DumpToIFF from data.dis to data.ham the picture
is displayed (so nice) but when writing to the diskette funny
things happen (sometimes with the L path access) with the system
which finally crashes with the famous GURU message.
The file data.ham has a zero size and the diskette is corrupted
(Diskdoctor message).

It is really a pity because this package is so nice. But without
IFF conversion ....?!?!?
