Also along these lines, does anyone know how to convert the 'old-style'
sun rasterfiles to either the standard or rle type ?  The type
is encoded in bytes 20-24 of the raster file, where:

		0 = oldstyle, 1=standard, and 2=run-length.

It seems that some graphics utilities (ie, FrameMaker) cannot load
old-style formats but have no problem w/ the other 2.
