I have successfully transferred both color and b/w Sun raster images
to the Macintosh.  To do this, I use the following software:


	1)  Giffer 1.0.3 on the Macintosh which displays GIF files.
	Copy and paste.  Available on sumex-aim.stanford.edu via anon ftp.

	2)  A GIFEncode routine.  Also on sumex-aim.

	3)  A program that reads a sun raster file and calls GIFEncode.
	This is trivial.  Programs that read in another format and
	call GIFEncode should be easy to write.


Now my raster conversion inventory includes:

Naugton, Rector, Rowley, Thomas, me, et al.
	GIF <-> Sun raster

Utah toolkit
	RLE <-> macpaint
	RLE <-  Sun raster
	RLE  -> PostScript

XIM
	XIM <-> RLE
	XIM <-  XWD
	XIM  -> PostScript

me
	XIM <-> Sun raster

X distribution
	XWD  -> PostScript

I am interested in utilities that convert formats to postscript.
