I have generated some images on an HP-UX (UN*X) system using some
image-conversion utilities, which have resulted in the generation of
several MacPaint images stored in UN*X files.  I have downloaded these
to my Mac, but I can't call them up in MacPaint because to the Mac,
they look like ordinary document files.

How can I get MacPaint to open up these files for display?  More
generically, how do I change a Mac file from one "Kind" to another?
