- TIFF Images -> GIFConverter (~450 Kbytes)
- QuickTime -> Simple Player (~110 Kbytes)
- MPeg -> Sparkle (~150 Kbytes)
- AU Sound -> UlawPlay (~90 Kbytes)
- BinHexed files -> Stuffit Expander (~130 Kbytes)
-
- All except Simple Player are freeware or shareware programs and
- are available via anonymous ftp from sumex-aim.stanford.edu or
- mac.archive.umich.edu. Install them using the directions that
- accompany the software.
-
- SimplePlayer is a Quicktime viewer from Apple that comes packaged with most
- distributions of Quicktime. It is copyrighted and not
- public domain. It is available from the NCSA anonymous ftp server.
