                   (c) 1989 Mark Hamilton Ver 1.10 03/90



    TGA2TIF is a file conversion program that converts targa (.TGA) files
    to tiff (.TIF) files. The converted TIFF file can then be read by
    popular DeskTop Publishing packages, such as PageMaker.

    The Targa files must be 16 bit color (targa16) and type 2 format. This
    includes most files created from the True Vision Targa 16 board and
    the Everex Vision 16 boards. Although not tested, it should work on
    files created from the True Vision Vista board configured to 16 bit
    color.

    Note: files created from Lumena16, ColorScheme I, ColorScheme II,
          as well as others follow the targa type 2 format and can be
          converted. Use the DOS REName command to rename the file from
          the .PIX extension to the .TGA extension.


    Usage: tga2tif [/m] [\path\]fname[.tga]

       /m = mirror left to right
       /? = display syntax

       This will convert the .TGA file in the path specified to a TIFF
       file in the current path.

       The mirror switch (/m) has found to be needed for files created
       from the Vision 16 board.

       Conversion time will take less than 2 minutes for a 500k file
       (depending on system and disk speed).
