Hello netters...

A simple question...

I'm trying to port macpaint files to xbm format. The macpaint
files usually contain many icons, and I have to cut and paste
these into separate files before I read'em into the Sun and 
apply macptoxbm.

Is there a tool on public domain able to read an xbm file,
and allow the user to cut a section of that file, and write
that section into another xbm file... 

Has anybody had to do this PAINFUL task, and has found a more 
intelligent way to do it...

Any info will be appreciated...

Rob Herrera
