Jef Poskanzer's PBM-PLUS package posted to comp.sources.misc last November
contains tools for converting between formats such as X bitmaps and window
dumps, GIF, encapsulated PostScript and many others.

I have written programs that convert Apollo bitmap files (true-colour,
pseudo-colour, monochrome or those funny GMF files that xi produces) to and
from any other format supported.

Email me if you want a copy of them (you'll need to pick up PBMPLUS too from
your local comp.sources.misc archive).  If there is sufficient demand I'll
post them to this news group.
