Not good enough, I'm afraid.  I only have 5 Meg, and TPaint complains
about not enough memory if I have run anything before the switcher.
(I assume I'm fragmenting my memory.)  And what I want to do is have
AREXX control the process of <grab,save as framestore,convert to normal
24-bit IFF,convert to other-format IFF>.  TPaint is a slow memory hog
if you don't want to do any painting.  

I wish Transfer24 would be upgraded to support FrameStores.
