This depends on your startupscreen.  Old B&W mac startupscreens were 
just 22K of screen data-- not hard to read at all.  New mac startupscreens
are files that have a PICT resource ID=0 in their resource fork-- unless
you have a resource-extractor, you are going to have a problem with these.
If you do have a resource-extractor, fix it so it writes 512 bytes of zeros
before the resource data, anbd run the result through your PICT converter.
