A couple of questions about Sun Rasterfile formats.

1) There are some pub domain rasterfiles with their filename extension
being ---.im1 or ---.im8. The file command indicates that these are in
RT_BYTE_ENCODED format. now the screenload command fails to read them most
of the time. Is there some routine to convert the BYTE_ENCODED rasters to
STANDARD form or am I doing something wrong.

2)  Does anyone know if there exists any utility to convert the CompuServe
GIF format to SUN rasterfile format (color/mono).

Thanks
