Summary: Are there graphics conversion packages for PCs?

A colleague of mine uses TeX on his ibmpc clone, using arbortex and pctex.
Both of these packages come with \special commands that allow printing of
graphics in pcl format.  However, our scanner only creates graphics in
various flavors of tiff (there are apparently several versions) and
something called "pcx" format.

Does anyone know of a package (preferably shareware or public domain,
though recommendations for commercial packages may also help) that converts
from tiff to pcl and/or pcs to pcl?

Thanks!
