    One of your "renderers" exists now -- Post 1.5 by Adrian Aalward
(sp?). Thomas Rockki (sp?) of Amiga TeX fame is using it to add
transparent Postscript support to TeX (No more Grey Boxes!! Yea!)

    Since most formats are widely availible it seems like a NEAT
shareware project (Even neater than the MSDOS "transpiler"). You could
even go one step further. Write a "object --> iff" library to render
standard (circle, bezier splines, N-splines, spheres, cubes, do
dithering etc..)

    Now if there were 30 hours a day........
