[ John Jung wonders how the desktop background was changed to a big picture ]

Suntools just takes whatever image you specify and repeats it until the
screen is filled.  That's why you see two big copies and some chopped off
copies.  There is no magic, suntools just copies the bitmap into the
pixwin which is the desktop.

There are a variety of bitmap conversion tools in the public domain.  Of
course, I never understand why people want to move things from real
computers to little bitty, single tasking, single user, tiny screened,
reduced memory, insufficiently disked, tapeless toys :-)
