14<p>DOWNLOAD: <a href="iff_to_jpeg">iff_to_jpeg</a> IFF to JPEG converter.
15Self documenting: run with less than 2 arguments for info, you can set 
16quality of JPEG compression 1-100.
17eg: 
18<p><code>iff_to_jpeg xyz.ilbm xyz.jpeg 100</code>
19<p>Will convert any IFF picture including HAM8 and other HAM IFF files.
20<p>Requires <a href="jpeglibrary.lha">jpeglibrary.lha</a>

24<p>I've just written + tested initially an iff-to-jpeg converter.
25It converts any IFF file to 24bit jpeg, 
26
27
28<p>My iff-to-jpeg converter is done via iffparse.library on the iff side 
29and jpeg.library on the jpeg side. 
30
31<p>So by combining iff-to-jpeg with jpeg-to-ps: 
32<a href="jpeg2ps.lha">jpeg2ps.lha</a> by Thomas Merz, you can convert IFF to PS 
33which can be fed to GS8 to print!!!
34
35<p>I have printed out Venus.LoRes on my Lazer via GS8 using this method!
36
37<p>I will also write a jpeg-to-iff program, with the option of 
38 216 colour palette IFF or HAM8 IFF. :Got some other things to do first though!
39
40<p>(POSTSCRIPT: <a href="myprogs.html">
41this converter is now done,</a> I put some urgency on making this 
42when I realized it was very important because it allows one to then 
43move freely eg 
44<p><code>Dpaint IFF &lt;---&gt; Internet JPEG &lt;---&gt; DTP GS8 PS ----&gt; Printer</code>
45)
46<p>216-colour palette is more useful for editting. 
47This will then solve the problem of GS8 outputting colour IFF files!
48:I'll reuse my HAM8 code from whooshjpeg as that functions quite well.
49I'll extract that HAM8 code and capture it in a subroutine 
50rgb-line --> HAM8-line. The 216 colour code I'll redo from scratch.
51(POSTSCRIPT: I did exactly this!)
