The iff2sun program recently posted doesn't work well for me.

I am getting this error:

	Compression is messed.: Error 0

over and over and over and....

My first guess is that the iff files are coming back mundged,
and I need to try fresh again with a iff image.

I am using kermit to transfer the file, binary mode,
directly between the amiga and the sun.

For more info, I tried the following iff files

Mickey MOuse (wizard)
sitting duck (you know, the one that was a poster)
Star_destroyer (whoops! said it was a HAM)
King Tut  (can you say stock image?)

Now, also to clarify, the image retains just enough
structure that I can make out what it was supposed to be,
from within the garbage...

Can someone either:

	a) send me a fixed iff2sun.c
	b) send me a iff file, uuencoded o course
	c) splain to me how to get uuencode to create a file.
		type uuencode you get:
			uuencode [infile] 
		so like a happy camper, I type (all in ram)
			uuencode mickey.iff mickey.uu
		and it proceeds to spit the uucode on the screen,
		with no file created.. AAARAAGH!
	d) send me a rasterfile of KingTut or Mickey :-)

Humph!  I had such great hopes...maybe the "new improved 
version"  will be out soon!
