  Well, we've got a few IFF's floating around on our anon. ftp site, nothing
  that isn't from a Fish disk or Amicus disk, though.  I will try to collect
  a few of the IFF pics from our local BBS here and place them there as well.
  In addition, we've got a horde of Sun rasters floating around.  If you get
  the FBM package, you can translate them all into 256-color HAM pics.  
  The pictures don't end up being too bad translated this way, although some
  are previously translated rasters from HAM pics that I downloaded to make
  them accessible to graphics buffs.  One thing, though, seems like most of
  the IFF pics on our BBS are rated PG (mild nudity, breasts, etc.), R (
  showing everything but the genitals), X (you can guess) and XX (sex scenes),
  which I wouldn't feel right about posting (sorry, but those are my feelings).
  So, aside from a few killer HAM paintings of a D&D type nature, there's not
  that much available.  Anon. ftp to geomag.gly.fsu.edu (128.186.10.2) and look
  in pub/pics/IFFpics.  Happy viewing.
