   I have some questions regarding PBMPlus for the Amiga.  My questions
involve converting PBM and PGM files to ILBM formats.  A file is included 
to convert color PPM files to ILBM, but no files are included to
convert PBM or PGM files to ILBM.

   What is really needed is more utilities to convert between the three
formats.  Some are included, but the set is incomplete.  PPM files
can be converted to PGM, and PGM files can be converted to PBM, but
no files are included to go the opposite way, from PBM to PBM, and from
PGM to PPM.  This is a serious fault, because it limits that use of 
the package.

   I have a bunch of Sun icons that I would like to convert to ILBM
files, and from there to Amiga icons.  There is a Sun ICON to PBM
converter included, but I can't figure out how to get the monochrome
PBM files to ILBM.
