One of the folks I work with has prepared a bunch of stuff using
GEM on an IBM PC compatitable. He wants to print them off on our Mac
connected Laser Printer. So I thought great lets use PBM-PLUS and convert
them from GEM to MACPAINT. Well when I went to translate the files PBM
required the GEM files be in a .img format and mine evidently weren't.
Would someone please explain to me what the .img format is compared to the
GEM format we have and also tell me if there is a way to convert from
what we have to the other.

Thanks in advance,
Ray


P.S. If there is an easier way to do what I need to do here please point it
out.
