   I was wondering if there were any converters from DBW .tmp 12-bit
   files to SHAM mode.  I am trying to do an honors thesis with a 
   modified version of DBW that outputs in standard .tmp format.
   My pictures often come out with HAM fringe artifacts, as I use a 
   dithering algorithm to give better pictures.  SHAM would probably
   give me better output, as I can optimize a palette for each
   scan line.  If there are no such converters, could someone
   send me a description of SHAM format so I could try hacking 
   together a converter.
