As a follow-up to this request, I wanted to make sure everyone here
knew about the package called FBM (Fuzzy Bit Map) that was announced
a while back in comp.graphics.  It supports GIF and IFF as well as
several other formats and allows conversions to and from most of the
formats it supports.  It and another package called PBM together form
a useful set of tools for image conversion and manipulation.  It is
available via anonymous ftp from nl.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.222.56).  I use
it routinely on a 4.3bsd unix vax, but have not yet attempted to compile
it on my Amiga, so I can't tell you whether or not that is an easy port.
