I am looking for Public Domain programs that
(1) could create an ASCII-colormap from IFF/HAM files that could be
altered and applied to the picture again .. e.g. a simple palette file
that could be used ... and 
(2) could compress uncompressed IFF/HAM's with the normal
IFF-compression (e.g. prog uncmpr.ham cmpr.ham)

Any help will be useful... I suppose it would not be difficult to try
making those ... but they might exist :)
