The Art Department (TAD) is currently shipping. It can convert any format
to any Amiga IFF format. However, it does not  convert into formats other 
than IFF. 

Soon to be released, is Art Department Professional (ADPro).  It can read
and *write* any  file format (in addition to many other advancements over
TAD). 

We offer  TAD  as  an extremely powerful  *entry*  level image processing 
system. ADPro is a more powerful  and fully extendable professional image
processing system.

ADPro is late, because  we're finishing adding some new features which we
did not plan  upon when we proposed a September 15th release date. We ex-
pect a release in the near future.
