You have the ultimate solution in PB: the pointers. Ok, there is some good tutorial on this forums made by 'freak' so you can launch a search for further explanation.

Until now it looks like this method works only in screen or windowed screen mode, and not in window mode, or I haven´t spoted the correct way to use it, so on my wish list is:
GrabImageBlock(WindowID,x in actual window,y in actual window,width,height, memoryBlock)
CatchImage() is then the opposite way, to restore image from memory block.
Are there any plans for ImagePlugin() for loading IFF files on PC?

More than plans:

http://www.terra.es/personal5/temporald ... ePluginIFF

Usage:

* UseEC_IFFImageDecoder()

Add this like any other image plugin at the beginning of your code. Decodes regular IFF, HAM(5-10), PBM, IFF24/32, EHB. If you find any IFF file that it can't decode properly, please send it to me.

* UseEC_ILBMImageEncoder()

Add this like the previous one, but for encoding. At this moment, it only encodes in IFF24.

To use it, type 'ILBM' as format. The encoder will use RLE only if it results in a smaller file size:
Yet a beta, I hope you find it useful. Bye,

Great! I did not knew about it... Thank you very much, I started already to write a importer.
Edit: My dude reported me that the IFF decoder does not decode the HAM (From Amiga500) images correctly.

You haven´t entered your E-Mail adress, so I can´t send you the IFF that does not decode correctly.

Here it is (doesn't this forum have an e-mail poster?). Of course, the lib doesn't decode sound, font, text or animated IFF (just to remind you :

mcalderon_inicia.es

UPDATE: anything new about these HAM files? Haven't received them yet.
