I'm not aware of anything which will convert directly from Deluxe Paint on the IBM to IFF on the Amiga. (Technically, they're virtually the same format, but the IBM DPII files use 8 bit planes, which aren't normal for IFF…) On the other hand, it is quite possible to convert such images to GIF on the IBM side (using LBM2GIF, available in the PICS forum), and then using one of several methods to convert from GIF to IFF on the Amiga side. (Methods include: Use HAMGIF or VirtGIF to display the GIF, then screen capture; Use GIF2IP to convert to DigiView IP format, then use DigiView to convert to IFF. All these programs, except DigiView, are here in LIB 9 or LIB 1)
