I'm running windows 3.0 and have noticed that there are some bitmaps
available to put on the desktop background.  All files end in a '.bmp' 
extention.  Coming from the land of Unix, I have access to all sorts
of bit maps that are more entertaining than the ones supplied by
Microsoft.  Does anyone know what format these .bmp files are in
and if there are utilities to convert from one of the many more 
common bitmap formats (gif, etc) to a .bmp?

Thanks
