Is there a way of sending IFF files directly via E-mail? I've tried to convert to sixel format using CSIX (with erratic results) but I'd like to be able to send a digitized picture to my son at U-Mass so that he can then up-load from the schools VAX to his Amiga. Dave

Since an iff file is a binary file, you should probably at least
uuencode it, and perhaps 'SH'ar it though I think uuencoding it
is probably enough. If you arc it or zoo it first then uuencode
it you will be able to check the integrity of the file when zoo/arc
unpacks the file. uunecode, uudecode, and the latest copy of zoo
are all still available @ tape::user1:[amiga...] and probably norse""::
whenever the TK50 arrives there.

Sixel files can be mailed. I haven't had any problem converting
IFF to Sixel using CSIX.

Trouble with that solution is that once converted to SIXEL, the file can't be
reworked on with D-Paint. What I'm trying to do is send digitized (Digi-View)
files to my son so that he can view and manipulate them on his A-500.
Speaking of converting to SIXEL, can it be done on the Amiga or does it have to
be downloaded to VMS and then converted?
