I'm stuck on a monochrome sun 3/50 with no possibility of grey scale, and I
was wondering if anyone out there knew of a program to convert an n-bit color
or grey-scale image to 1 bit monochrome using a matrix of pixels to represent
an individual pixel in the original file.
I have access to some 8 bit to 1 bit conversion programs, but quite often,
the picture is a 320x200 image, and it is sooo small on my screen, it's almost
completely useless.  
I've seen a program to do something like this before, but I can't remember
where, and I know it wasn't on a sun.

For example, there might be a 3x3 pixel array used to represent up to 10 shades
of grey...

Any help, ideas, or (preferably) code would be immensely appreciated!

Thanks!
