Apparently all it takes is a small tweak to the IFF header with a HEX editor and, voila, it's an ILBM that can be read by anything.



Hence..."reverse engineer".

The way they're reporting you'd think Warhol was using ENIAC.

Wait, I thought this already happened a few years ago... I was trying to help someone restore the banana2 file but couldn't figure it out. Sometime later, someone else did it successfully with the pre-release version of GraphiCraft used at the launch event, which was the only program that could handle it.

It looks like another group now did the exact same thing, only through a much more *profitable* and circuitous route...
