- Not a viewer, but a real good converter.
- Get HamSharp2.0 form abcfd20.nasa.gov (I'm not real sure of the name but I
-know that the number is: 128.155.23.64) It cleanly converts GIFs to IFFs and
-allows several different options. Unfortunatley:
- 1) It seems to convert ALL files to ham (hence the name, I guess :)
-    So, if you have a 640x400x16 GIF it goes to a 320x400xHAM instead of
-    640x400x16 which would yield a better picture. 
- 2) It has a bug: It occasional screws up the compression. (That's the exact
-    word that my iff viewer uses 8) You can use the -c switch to turn off the
-    compression and everything works fine. However, this bug crashes every
-    viewer I have except for SHOW which tells me the compression is screwed up.
- 3) Another possible bug: Sometimes, even with the -c option, SHOW tells me
-    that it can't load plane0. I don't know how to get around this. Sorry.
-    Hey! Wait! Maybe someone else does! Genius! :)

-OH Silly me: HamSharp is in the /incoming/amiga/ drawer.


Could anyone please email me this program (can't ftp)! I also have
problem with my archive/decompress programs lost in a crash, so
uudecode is the only of those programs left.

Thanks in advance,
