I wrote a program this spring that takes the old Facesaver pictures and turns
them into 4-bit grayscale ILBM files.  From this you can use most anything
IFF show program to display them.  If anyone is interested it should be a
quick hack to get it to work with the newer format (and the older ones too)
used for B'more this past June.  I guess I could have written an 8-bit ILBM
file (to preserve the original data) but very few if any show programs could
handle it.   Right now I'm just chopping off the lower four bits.  Anyone
interested?
