The FBM package will very blindly take a 24 bit .GIF and create a 24-BIT
IFF even though most viewers cannot handle it...  More importantly, the
FBCAT program used to do the above does not pay much attention to resolution,
it just passes the data through unmolested...

If find this to be a great way to take .GIFs and print them on my 24Pin color
printer at 360DPI by running the resulting IFF picture through PageStream which
will utilize my printer's resolution and will print 24bit IFF's
