To whom it may concern:

I posted a few questions about how to display an pict file converted on the 
Sun.  I had ftp'd the files over from a Sun 3/60 to a MacII.  What I had
was the data fork of the pict file and the MacOS needs a resource fork
as well to recognize the file.  I used ResEdit to load the file and when 
it loads it ask you if you would like to add a resource fork, I did.  
After that I went into the 'get info ' option and changed the file extension
from text to pict.  After that I just used the PICTviewer to take a look
at the files.  They aren't as sharp as on the Sun, but it works. 
Thanks to everybody for their input on this problem!
