Art Department Pro from ASDG or Imagelink from Active Circuits will do
IFF24 conversion to many other formats including TGA. In thge PD/Shareware
realm, RGBExchange will accept IFF24 and convert to TGA and a few others.
Also, I modified the ilbmtoppm module for the pbmplus tools to handle IFF24.
This would allow conversion to and from many formats plus various image
operations but requires that you have the rest of the pbmplus (pub domain)
source and a compiler.
