I don't know if this will help you, but...  I have just been reading IFF
documentation up the proverbial wazoo, found on FF #16.  It's the 1985 info,
so there's probably some newer stuff, but that'd be one place to start... 
I believe the disk also contains C source for routines to manipulate (i.e.
read, write, etc. etc.) IFF files for all sorts of entities including ILBM
bitmaps.

Once you get 'em IN using THESE routines, you can write whatever output
handling you feel like...
