File Conversions
I don't know for sure if it will work, but you might want to try pulling the
files into any other graphics package that reads tifs (Photoshop,Highjack,
etc.).If they can read the files you should also be able to save them out to
tga and read them into 3DS. Also, it might help to upgrading to R4 if you think
it can fit into your plans. Good luck with the conversions,
