There is a point that most people miss.  TAD will read many formats
and convert them to IFF.  TAD will ONLY SAVE IFF files.

ADPro, on the other hand, will READ AND WRITE just about any format.

                 TAD:     (many formats) ----> IFF
                 ADPro:   (many formats) <---> (many formats)

I just wanted to clarify this point.  I hadn't realized this until I
started seriously looking for conversion software.
