Grumble...

I just got the PBMPlus archive from ab20. I have some ILBM-24 bit files that 
I want to mess with. Now then, I tried using ilbmtoppm on a 24 bit file from
DCTV. ilbmtoppm complains that there are too many bit planes and I should try
to recompile with a larger 'pixval'. Fine. I don't have the sources...

Does anyone have a version of 'ilbmtoppm' that works with ILBM24 files from
DCTV that they'd be willing to send me? A pointer to an anon ftp site that has
one? A pointer to Amiga sources? Anything?

(Someone was also suggesting a program called 'xv' for doing 24->8bit gif
conversions... It's PD, any ideas where I could find it?)

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm still new to the Amiga, but it certainly
is more of a pain in the ass than I was hoping... (I'm originally a Mac/ST/PC/
X11 type person... hence all the confusion... :-)
