To make a long problem short (maybe), what I'm trying to do is convert IFF
type files to PostScript - My first instinct was to get the program Iff2ps
off the infamous Fish disks (#94, I believe)...Problem...My pathway into
my Amiga through the net is through two other unix based computers. That's
where one of my problems exists. My Amiga's version of Kermit (probably 
really outdated) doesn't seem to transfer properly from my Unix system
and so I wind up with a "non-object module" error when I try to run the
IFF2PS program on the Amiga. Text transfers w/ no problem, but those binary
files (even when I set file type binary on both sides of kermit) don't seem
to transfer properly.

So basically, what I'm trying to do is locate the source code for IFF2PS,
so I can transfer the code to my Amiga, compile it, then the resulting
files will be text (postscript) and they can be transferred to the unix 
system that can access our laser printers.

I hope that all made sense.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this brave feat?

Thanks in advance.
