Summary: ILBM IFF conversion to rasterfile.h (Sun)

I hacked Leo's iff program to convert IFF pictures to the Sun.
They don't come out too bad, the Sun can display 8 bit-planes
at a resolution of about 1006 x 960 (or something).

I got colour cycling going, however, to get the 1/60th of a second
waits for screen refresh, you have to busy wait. utime(1) only
sleeps for a minimum of about 4/60ths of a second. Anyway, speeded
up it comes out Ok.

I'm not receiving comp.sys.amiga yet, if I still am not in a week or so
I'll post the source from here.

The earthrise looks great as a (rasfilter8to1 -d) backdrop in Suntools, now
all I need is an Xwindows version, or maybe NeWs....
