Hello everybody,

I want to convert some Amiga based IFF files to GIF, but the files seems unknown to then most convention programs under Windows .  

Please help me to convert the files .

The files are corrupt (chunks are shifted when they should be aligned). The corruption is from converting \n linefeeds to \r\n.

This can be undone manually but it needs some work (there can be \r\n sequence naturally in a binary file, so one needs to be careful not just replace all \r\n to \n globally).

If you transferred the files using CrossDos, make sure you don't have the linefeed conversion enabled when moving binary files. Also some combination of bogus mimetypes and certain browsers are known to result in such corruption.

Ok, here we go:

/*
  fix file corrupted by \n -> \r\n conversion

  NOTE: This program will convert all \r\n combinations. If such
  sequence occured in the original file it will be removed aswell.

$ gcc -Wall -O2 fixlf.c -o fixlf
$ ./fixlf < SEBP_sheet1 | ilbmtoppm -verbose | pnmtopng - > SEBP_sheet1.png
ilbmtoppm: dimensions: 640x512, 2 planes
ilbmtoppm: compression: byterun1
ilbmtoppm: warning - non-square pixels; to fix do a 'pnmscale -yscale 1.1'
ilbmtoppm: unknown chunk type DPPS - skipping
ilbmtoppm: warning - probably shifted 4-bit colormap
ilbmtoppm:     use "-adjustcolors" to scale colormap to 8 bits
ilbmtoppm: input is a 2-plane ILBM
pnmtopng: 3 colors found

And the result:
