2811.0. "IFF to MAC Conversion?" by NITMOI::WITHERS (So shines a good deed in a weary world..) Tue Aug 08 1989 00:48

    Hello.
    
    Does anyone know of any PD utility to convert from IFF pictures to
    whatever it is that the MAC (MAC Draw?) uses?
    
    Thanks in advance for any pointers/information,
    George

	Macview will do what you want. It will turn IFF files into MacPaint files, and MacPaint files into IFF files. The only problems I've encountered are files created with other Mac paint programs. Macview will not work with them. There should be a copy of it floating around somewhere on the network. It is readily available from other places like Plink. Randy

	Unless I'm missing something, MacView _won't_ do IFF -> MacDraw format. It is a decent MacDraw viewer, and is able to then capture the image in IFF, but won't do the reverse. Steve

	MacDraw is a structured drawing program, not a paint program. MacView does convert IFF files to MacPaint files. Maybe MacDraw has a facility for importing MacPaint files as objects, but I doubt it. Randy

	MacDraw will read a MacPaint image, which it then treats as a single "object".
