All right you amiga guru's you.  I have a question, or rather I would like
some advice.

I am working a program that will display a chess board on the screen.  I 
am wondering if the best way to approach something like this is to:
   
    #1  Use Deluxe Paint, draw my chess board

    #2  Use NGI or some utility to convert it to image data

    #3  Use the Intuition routine DrawImage() to put it up.

I have done this on a smaller scale with other images, but what about the
size of this image?  Also, if I wanted to place individual chess pieces on
the board, how would I display them, and how would I move them?

This is most intriquing to me.  I would appreciate any answers that you 
might have.

Also, if you know a small IFF reader that can be included in a program, 
I would be interested in that as well.
 
Thanks net!
