I need some information from anyone using iff/ilbm versions of my ray traced
images:

	1)	What did you use to grab the image with?
	2)	Could you "TYPE OPT H" the first couple hundred bytes of
		one (or more) of the files and send it to me?
	3)	What are you displaying the images with?
	4)	Have you been able to edit them?

Here is my problem:

	1)	I am now generating IFF/ILBM files directly from the ray tracer
		(following the RKM to the letter).
	2)	SHOWIFF displays the images non-ham mode (i.e., 6 absolute
		planes which look terrible).
	3)	DPaint states (upon image load) that it is in an "unsupported
		format".
	4)	All the chunks look good: FORMxxxxILBM, BMHD, CAMG, CMAP, BODY
		and have the same hex dump as the GLASS image on Fred Fish's
		distribution.
	5)	The is the last thing holding up distribution of the ray tracer
		for the Amiga and I would REALLY like to get it out the door
		before the end of the month.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Please mail replies back so that we
don't clutter up the net with this. If there is an interesting result, I will
of course post it.

Thanks!
