I don't have that (now) but my xloadimage utility (which was posted to
comp.sources.x a few weeks ago) can do several other image formats
which you can obtain with ppm.  It currently is more-or-less
braindamaged with respect to shared colormap entries but that will be
corrected in the near future by a new patchlevel.

If you have internet access, it is available via anonymous ftp from
expo.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/xloadimage.{tar,patch02}.Z.  The new
patchlevel will be available at expo and over comp.sources.x as soon
as available, which basically means as soon as I have a couple of
hours to put it together.

If anyone has more specific questions, feel free to write to me at the
address below.
