The image_formats [www.sidefx.com] still recommends .rat, but I'm not sure it it was maintained up to date.
It also recommends "icp program to convert between image formats" instead of iconvert...

- If I know what I will be using Karma exclusively, will there be any benefits in converting to .rat, since .rat was the native format for Mantra? I know in general they are pretty damn similar, but if we are talking about huge amount of data...

- Do you maybe have a Python script or .hip file left from those times?
