First you have to tell us what you mean by "MS-DOS graphics". MS-DOS
doesn't have any graphics support. So all the various applications that
store graphics in files do it their own way.

There are lots of conversion programs. But you have to know which 
program produced the file that you want to convert. As an example, I
know of at least three different programs that produce files with an
extnesion of .PIC. And the file formats are *not* compatible...
