Hi folks,

Another question.  Is there a program that will convert a scanned TIFF file
to a windows 3.0 bitmap (ie, desktop background)

I tried Grafworkshop 4.6 and it won't let me save a tif file to a windows bmp
file, it says it can't create a .bmp file!  So then I converted it to gif, 
using gws, then using gif2bmp, I got a bmp file but it looked really bad!

Any alternate ways to do this or other programs that are available (any on anon
ftp?).

Thanks,
Bin
