I have been trying to find:
  1. file conversion program(s) that will convert common graphics
     formats to GEOS
  2. a source of artwork at FTP sites to convert to GEOS

I have found:
PIXELPACKER - doesn't do GEOS; can't get it to read many files, such as
              Doodle or PIX.

AutoGraph - doesn't do GEOS and won't recognize any of the files I have in
            Koala, Doodle, or PIX formats; sorry Fuzzy Fox - It just doesn't
            read anything I give it - in any format or file type.

Allpix 4.0 - doesn't do GEOS.  Makes a nice display show, but doesn't seem
             to convert the PIX to formats other programs recognize.

MacAttack II - does GEOS, but only from MacPaint format.  This would be OK if
               I could find a good source of Mac artwork (PD of course!)

Mac2Geos -   same as above.  BTW, the Christie Brinkley file that was included
             looked good enough to make my wife upset!

Does anyone know of other programs or artwork sources on the net (or easily
available)?

Thanks!
