HEEELLLLPPPPP! I'm trying to convert IFF/ILBM files to PICT and bring them up on the Mac using ImageLink and Mac-2-Dos or AMax. ImageLink gives me a 256K file. Using Mac-2-Dos, I can make a file with a PICT resource type and a SPNT creator (for SuperPaint). The problem is that when I try to pick up the resulting file under SuperPaint on the Mac, I get a blank bit map. The ImageLink folks say that M2D is the preferred route for transfer, but they told me to use the default creator with PICT res type. M2D's creator (Central Coast Software) said to use PICT res type with the creator for the Mac program I want to use. Someone must be doing these conversions–I can't seen Active Circuits advertizing and selling a PICT converstor if it didn't work. Anyone out there know how to manage this?? Many thanks in advance! +=========================> Bob Trelease
