That was me.  A crude effort, early in the game (it wouldn't read all
IFF files, only DPAINT I brush files), but, I thought, worthwhile anyhow.

Hmm?  I've seen a thing called NGI, which was my gi program hacked to
produce a little more usable output.  If this is the same NGI, then
National Pixel Products is stomping all over my perogative as the
original author of the utility.  gi was intended to be freely
distributable, and selling it under a different name seems a bit
rude to me.  Do you have more details?  Or an address/phone for NPP?
