Does anyone know of a way to exchange color graphics between an Amiga and a Macintosh II (8-bit/256 color)? My ten year-old son has an Amiga, and he's making some nice landscapes with a fratal program that I'd like to view on my system. If you have any thoughts, please E-mail me at 76665,2453. Thanks, Linwood

You might covert his graphics to GIF, and then view them with a Mac GIF viewer. Betty

There is a very nice Mac desk accessory called PICTure This that will convert from IFF to any Mac format. It does not yet support 24 bit IFF, but the developers hope to add that this year. I don't remember who publishes it, but if you call Mac Connection I'm sure they'll be able to help you. I seem to remember it costing somewhere in the $50 range. -Brian

Another possibility is Interlink (Version 2.1) It does a large number of gr (Thats graphic) format conversions. I'm using to move between a 24 bit Mac II and an Amiga. Besides PICT to IFF, it does about a dozen other conversions. Also supports ARexx for automation of the process. Bill Dwyer

In addition to file conversion, you would need MAC-2-DOS and a mac drive on the 500 to put the files on a mac drive. I'd say also that Interlink is definitely the way to go for the file conversion itself.
