- If you have Jeff Poskanzer's pbmplus package on the Sun, it'll convert
- from just about any picture format to just about any other (by going
- through a format called Portable Pix Map or ppm). For example, to convert
- pict to sun raster:
-
- picttoppm pict-file | ppmtorast >rast-file
-
- There are also all sorts of utilities to work on the image in ppm format.
- It's free software and I highly recommend it.
