2578.0. "picture converter wanted!!!!!!!!" by SHARE::DOYLE () Thu May 18 1989 17:02

    Okay, how about this....
    	I've heard of a program that lets you change the format of pictures
    from one machine to the other. Allowing users of Amiga's to view
    I.B.M. pictures, Mac pictures, and vice versa.
    	I can't remember the name of this program, but it was offered
    on either Compuserve, or Peoplelink.
    	I could really use a program  like this .
    					Thanx

    You have two choices:
    a) Use the CompuServe GIF standard (there are programs for nearly
    every machine to convert native graphics to GIF and vice versa)
    or
    b) get the commercial program HiJack, which does about every conversion
    you will ever need. HiJack is available for I*M PC's, but they are
    working on an Amiga version.

2578.2.pic->gif->iff?SHARE::DOYLEMon May 22 1989 16:1613
    	OK, I got a couple of gif files from the net.
    	Here's what I want to do.
    	Take a graph saved in ".pic" format from Harvard Graphics on
    a IBM, change it to "GIF" format.
    	Take the newly converted "GIF" picture to my Ami and De-Gif
    it to an IFF file so I can use D-Paint III on it to embelish the
    graph then print it out.
    	Unfortunately, the GIF files I DLed are only viewers.
    	Could someone tell me what files I require to accomplish the
    above procedure?
    						Thanx;
