In its current form, AmigaTeX will only do graphics with a PostScript
printer.  With such a printer, it will handle IFF and EPSF graphics.
Translating VLT format graphics into PostScript is trivial.  These
pictures will not currently show up in the previewer.  Placement of
the graphics is by standard TeX insertions or explicit placement
with, for instance, a vbox.

This is all being worked on.
