Does anyone know of the avaliablity of an Xwindow Iff file viewer?
I actually have Iff(2|to)Sun from fish223 to convert to rasterfile,
and Am2Gif to use to produce stuff that I can use 'xgif' on to view
on the IPCs here, but Am2Gif is annoying in that it spews at Dpaint
DPPS chunks in a file, and thus I have to waste time going thru
Vdraw (fish 50 something (54?)) to get rid of them. Gif isn't too
bad I suppose as it seems to have good compression (some 640x200x4plane
pics by Patrick Nagel around 30K on IFF took around 10K on gif) - LZW 
I think.
