-
- On an Indigo (I'm not sure about the Iris) there is a utility
- called 'fromgif' that converts a file from gif format to the
- SGI native RGB format.
-
- You can then use 'imgview' to look at the image.
-
- To view the image:
- fromgif file.gif file.rgb
- imgview file.rgb
-
- If you want to do more with the image, the Indigo provides quite
- a few image processing applications in it's standard configuration.
- To find out about them type 'man -k image'.
-
- Enjoy
