	I think SHRConvert is your only GS specific option.. I think, 
unlike GIFs, SHRConvert does a quick/good job of this..
	Just a guess, but I bet it only works with black & white
Macpaint files.. (Was Macpaint updated to work on the Mac IIs in color?!
I'd guess people'd use SuperPaint or something like that instead)

	There's MacDown, a ProDOS 8 program.. I think it's written by 
Jason Harper also... It actually unconverts BinHex I think too!
