I have a number of Sun ICON files which I would like to install as
bitmaps in my X environment, however the ICON bitmaps seem to be
in a different storage pattern than bitmaps.  I can almost get
the pattern to reversing certain bits to convert one to the other, but
I can't quite automate the conversion process.  Does anyone have
such a converter, or know the Sun format for ICON files?
