I'm at a university that has a few Sun workstations (not quite silicon graphics, they're a few years old), and I recently joined a few format2format graphics things together in a pipe and came up with this: giftoppm $1 | ppmtopgm | pgmtopbm | pbmtoascii gif2ascii for short. Now, much as I'd like to translate files for you, I can't, so I suggest someone out there contacts Sun and sees if they can either give out the sourcecode, or else give the name of a vendor who sells such a utility. Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility if Sun doesn't want to know. :p :) -- ,--. , , , -,- / / / / , ,,__ __ /__ /_ /_ __ / / / __ __ .__ __ / \__)(_// (_~/ \ (_ / /(_~ _/_ / / (_/(_//(_ (_(/ (_/ (_/
