Many people lately have been asking for these type of programs.
I use a commercial program called HiJaak.
HiJaak supports the following graphics formats.
Amiga ILBM
Compuserve GIF
Assorted types of FAX boards
Gem Paint - .IMG
Halo - .CUT
HP Laserjet Language - HP-PCL
HP Plotter - HPGL
Inset - .PIX
Lotus - .PIC
Macintosh Macpaint
Mac Macpaint files saved without the header
Microsoft Paint version 1 and 2 (.PIX - I think)
NewsMaster
PC Paintbrush - (.PIX or .BMP - I think)
PrintMaster
TIFF (both compressed and uncompressed)
and WordPerfect - .WPG

Hijaak also supports Postscript and encapsulated (compressed - I think)
  Postscript when converting from something else.  (It can't read postscript,
  it can only write it)

I use it mostly for converting my gifs to Wordperfect graphics files, so I can
put them in my documents.  It does a much better job than the cheap converter
that exists in Simtel20.  It does have some problems with color.  But color
is always difficult when going to B&W.  It still does a better job than other
programs.
