I know this is more of an e-mail thing but I thougt I'd post this to 
emphasize a point: 

GET THE PBMPLUS KIT THAT WAS POSTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO !!!!! 

I work on Suns under SunView, HPs under X11, I have an Amiga at home and we 
have Postscript printers at work. I have had excellent success in using this 
utility to convert bitmaps back and forth between all these different imaging 
models. Want X11 xwd to Sun raster ? No problem:

			(monochrome)

		xwdtopbm "xwd file" | pbmtorast > "rast file"

			(color)

		xwdtoppm "xwd file" | ppmtorast > "rast file"
