There are some programs for the IBM that do support the IFF standard,
among them, the best graphics converter I have ever seen, Hijaak 2.0
not only converts IFF to just about any format (including PCX, GIF, TIFF,
MacPaint, EPS, HPGL, WPG just to name a few), it does the convertion in
just a few seconds. Very amazing program.

And let's not forget that Electronic Arts has Deluxe Paint II Enhanced
available for the PC, which is IFF compatible.

Another program that does a job at handling IFF pictures is the Shareware
Picture Viewer VPIC.
