GRAFWKxx can convert .GIF to .BMP but only 16 colors.
I have used VPICxx to view the .GIF upto 256 colors and use the
'Z' option to convert to Zsoft's .PCX format.  Windows 3.0 paint
program can read the .PCX files and convert to .BMP for great
256 colors backgrounds.

GRAFWK can convert to .PCX also but it's nice to view the picture
and with one key - convert to .PCX.
