Someone compiled djpeg for the IIGS, but it takes so long to convert that
I never did find out if it actually worked...8+ hours with an accelerator.
As for TIFF and PICT, I don't know of any available programs first hand.
TIFF is a rather loose standard, which makes it difficult to write TIFF
readers.  As for PICT, if this is the non-bitmap Mac format I don't think
I have ever come across a reader for it.

You might call Roger Wagner Publishing and ask about The Graphics Exchange.
There are a couple of library disks that have additional filters, so maybe
they have TIFF or PICT capability...not having them, I can't say.

If you have access to a workstation, you might check to see if you have
XV, PBM, or FBM...you can process pics on the workstation and turn them
into something the GS can easily digest.
