         Ok, here is where you can get fbm.  Apparently, Michael Mauldin also posted
	 the package recently in (I believe) comp.sources.unix, or something like
	 that.  However, it is also available anonymous ftp from nl.cs.cmu.edu
	 (128.2.222.56).  You must cd to /usr/mlm/ftp directly upon logging in
	 anonymous, you can't cd to any intermediate directories.  Get the fbm
	 tar and there you go.  I've found it VERY useful on our Sun here, as it
	 will convert between IFF (non-HAM), GIF, Sun-rasters, FACE, and some others
	 that I don't rightly recall.  It also has conversion programs to postscript,
	 from qrt .RAW files, from Digiview Raw files (Amiga also), and many others.
	 In addition, it does greyscaling, digital halftoning (of greyscales) and
	 many other things.  In any case, it has been put to a lot of use here.
	 Good Luck!

	 p.s. if you can't reach there, send me a message, and I'll post it in our
	 anon. ftp account here at geomag.gly.fsu.edu (128.186.10.2).
