Does anyone know of a way to convert Macintosh pict or tiff files to a format readable by the program Alias running on a Silicon Graphics Iris for the purpose of texture mapping.  

Also does anyone know of a filter that allows Alias to output RIB files 
for use with Pixar's Renderman.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you
