Ok .. Here is what I did.

"xwd -root >/tmp/root.xwd"   (I tried the -xy option as well)

At the time, I was running the SYS V 386 server in 800x600x16 color mode.
The resulting ".xwd" file was to be converted to a GIF.

neither the origional "xwdtopbm" or the one supplied by ISC with my MOTIF 
system handle that file! (I want to go xwdtopbm | pbmtogif) 

The error is "cannot handle bitplanes !=1" !

Does anyone have a converter that will handle color xwd files ??
