This message may be a possible duplicate, but here goes anyway.

Does anyone out there know how to display a file created on a Sun using
"screendump" (which I believe produces a Sun rasterfile format output)
in its original colors in a window in X.  The only thing that I can 
think of right now would be to convert the Sun rasterfile image to a
format recognized by X that supports color, such as xwd.

I have (with limited success) been able to run the rasterfile output thru
a few of the pbm filter utilities to produce a monochrome version of the
screen dump using xwud.  If anyone can help me, please e-mail me at
{att!}hound!smikes or contact me at (201) 949-7737, or just post a follow
up to this message.  Thanks in advance.

Steve
