a program that can capture and convert between different formats is
hijaak from Inset systems.

Taken from the manual:

	File type	direction	extension
	Amiga		s/d		.IFF
	compuserve	s/d		.GIF
	HP laserjet	s/d		.HPC
	Inset/hijack	s/d		.PIX
	Lotus		s		.PIC
	Macintosh	s/d		.MAC
	PC Paintbrush	s/d		.PCX
	Postscript	d		.PSC
	Scanner TIFF	s/d		.TIF
	Text		s/d		.TXT
	DrHalo		s/d		.CUT

	direction: s=source file, D=destination.


	My experience is that you really have to try it and
	see what happens.   For example, it only supports
	B/W drhalo cut files.   It seems to support PC
	paintbrush really well, which is what I care about,
	and it makes .EPS (encapulasted postscript files)
	which isn't even in the above table.
