Available on Compuserve in the Picture support area are some files like
IFF2GIF and GIF2PCX.  Quite a bother actually.

I have been using a commercial product called variously HiJaak, Graphics Tran,
Inset Systems, etc.  -- the best implementation of this product is fast and
allows use of wildcards  i.e. CONVERT *.LBM /iff *.PCX.  Since I typically do
100+ pictures at a time this feature is invaluable.
