I have been using the utility posted a while ago, mp2sun, to transform
MacPaint files into Sun Raster files (for use in the -background option in
suntools, etc). It works fine, but there are two tasks which I have still
been unable to perform on MacPaint images, and I was wondering if any of you
more informed folks had information on tools to use:
1) Is there any tool for tranforming a *portion* of a MacPaint file into a
Sun raster file? Currently, you only get a Raster file the size of a
MacPaint file. I think I can alter mp2sun.c myself, but I was wondering
if anyone else had done it already (I'd also need something to count
pixel width and height in paint files -- andy Mac utilities to do this?).
2) Something to change portions of MacPaint images/bitmaps/icons into
Sun Icon format.
Finally, is there anything out there which transforms PICT format into Sun
Raster format (much like the "Drawing to Paint" menu item in SuperPaint).
Thanks for your time -- I'll be happy to post anything I get.
