Well, technically, SHAM 3.0 pics *are* IFF images. The only difference is a special chunk which describes the palette data for each line. Unfortunately, because only SHAM viewer programs at this time know about this extra chunk, any attempt to use a SHAM image in a "normal" paint program will look like garbage. Eventually, someone will probably write a program to do the conversion to normal IFF, but there isn't any now that I'm aware of. –>Steve Bennett
