Unfortunately, I renamed the program to 'saveiff' from whatever the original
name was.  I'm not sure where the program came from, though I have the
source.  You type 'saveiff filename' and then it will output a message
something like 'save highest screen in 5 seconds? (y/n)' and then once
you hit return, you have 5 seconds to make sure the screen you want to
save is the highest up on the display.  Works great in any mode.

	3)      What did you display the image with?

I hacked a version of seeilbm to set HAM mode if there are 6 bit planes
in the image.  This is probably an incorrect kludge, but I didn't see any
other obvious way to tell if the IFF file was HAM or not.  It could be a
'halfbrite' screen, but since I don't have that feature anyway, I just
coded it to go into HAM mode.  If anyone knows what a more CORRECT way
of testing the incoming IFF file for HAM mode, let me know.
 
        4)      Have you been able to edit it?

No.
