It is true that "toalias" converts from SGI RGB format to Alias RGB format.
What is *not* true is that QuickPaint and QuickModel use Alias format.
So please don't waste your time with the above process if you hope to
deal with QuickPaint image files.

As mentioned before, QuickPaint uses SGI colorindex format in combination
with a saved SGI colormap file. Refer to the SGI image library source
in 4Dgifts/iristools/libimage for the gory details.
