I always wondered why the people who did the amiga port of POVRay
didn't reuse the existing (working) ham6 display code from DKB Render.

There is a targa file datatype on aminet.  You can view .TGA files
directly.  Kind of handy.  Targa is a great file format because it
is simple and allows an alpha channel and most software on any
platform can read it.  The files do get large, though.  :)

I believe that DKB Render had a CLI tga to ham converter included
in the package, but it's been so long since I used it so I could
be mistaken.

Also; the targa file format is not that difficult parse.  I'de be
surprised if there were not some good freeware converters on aminet
to convert TGA to iff24 or even to ham8.
