There are other programs on the Mac side which do the job quite fine
(LaserPaintII, PixelPaint Professional to mention two).

But I would like to know, if there is a conversion program on the unix
side.  There has been a posting in alt.graphics.pixutils (24 July) including
picttoppm and ppmtopict (good for the pbmplus kit).  But these programs
don't support 24 bit (or 32 bit) PICT2's.

Anybody out there who knows a program to read/write 24 bit PICT2's
on a unix system?
