-------------------

    For those that may be interested I managed to modify Fuzzy BitMap to 
    read 24 Bit IFF pics.
    
    I sent a copy of the modified fliff.c file to author of FBM utility.
    
    Now owning a DCTV I wanted to be able to move files from amiga 24 BIT
    (736 x 482) to GIF 640 x 480 without going thru ham mode and losing
    resolution and color loss. (since ham is only 320 by 400).
    
    Anyone interested in the modified fliff.c just drop me a line.
    
    And others have asked 'what is the 24 bit IFF format' well its just
    24 plane ILBM BODY with no CMAP (of course) with the first 8 planes
    being RED, then GREEN then BLUE rgb values to get 24 bits.
    
    Still Thumbs up for DCTV!!!
