I wrote a program to display MacPaint Pictures on the UNIXPC.  It was
called "showpaint".  So to show a piture all you have to do is
translate it from whatever format it is in to a macpaint document.

For example, say you have a Sun Raster image called logo and you want
to show it on the UNIXPC.  You could type the following:

	$ rasttopbm logo | pbmtomacp >logo.pntg
	$ showpaint logo.pntg

I think showpaint is available on OSU and attctc.
