You could also use the program "xv".  It is easily expandable to suit
almost any picture format.  All that is required is that the picture
be read into a buffer (or array...) and that you tell xv what the depth,
width, and height of the picture are.

I use it on my Sun with a modification for a local format we use.  It
lets you read GIF, PBM, and X bitmaps, and allows you to save these as
well.  Thus it could also be used as a conversion utility.

The source should be available at any comp.windows.x archive.  If you
do not have access to FTP, reply and I'll send a you a uuencoded
version through mail.

Jim.
