You can use the beta version of the new PBM package -- it includes some utilities for reading PICT files now and I think it has a filter for output of SGI image files.

Can't help you there, sorry.. Reid -- Reid Ellis 176 Brookbanks Drive, Toronto ON, M3A 2T5 Canada rae@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu || rae%alias@csri.toronto.edu CDA0610@applelink.apple.com || +1 416 446 1644
