This format was designed to _be_ an intermediate format. It's essentially a protocol for sending raw pixels across pipes. If we write small scripts that use ImageMagick, both the conversion and viewing problems are solved. ImageMagick has the `convert' and `display' commands which work well from scripts. Please correct me if I'm wrong (really, I'm not angry here), but it seems like writing a new converter and a new viewer is unnecessary work. A better way of developing the format is to confirm whether it's useful or not. I could take a game like SuperTux and swap SDL_image with a loader for this format. Charlie Murphy
