	The latest pbm routines have a g3topbm and pbmtog3 set
	of programs.  (g3 == Group III).  They seem to do the
	trick.

	Speaking of pbm, has anyone got the pcxtopbm program to
	work properly?  I have tried a number of different .pcx
	files produced by various PC paint programs, and they all
	produce garbage when displayed under X.  Them Mac routines
	work great.  (as do the g3 ones)
