I have been trying to find:
1. file conversion program(s) that will convert common graphics
formats to GEOS
2. a source of artwork at FTP sites to convert to GEOS
I have found:
PIXELPACKER - doesn't do GEOS; can't get it to read many files, such as
Doodle or PIX.
AutoGraph - doesn't do GEOS and won't recognize any of the files I have in
Koala, Doodle, or PIX formats; sorry Fuzzy Fox - It just doesn't
read anything I give it - in any format or file type.
Allpix 4.0 - doesn't do GEOS. Makes a nice display show, but doesn't seem
to convert the PIX to formats other programs recognize.
MacAttack II - does GEOS, but only from MacPaint format. This would be OK if
I could find a good source of Mac artwork (PD of course!)
Mac2Geos - same as above. BTW, the Christie Brinkley file that was included
looked good enough to make my wife upset!
Does anyone know of other programs or artwork sources on the net (or easily
available)?
Thanks!

Janowiak > XWUU@PURCCVM Somewhere in my archives I have a GIF->Geopaint converter, but this is probably not what your looking for. I got it via FTP, but I honestly don't remember where (if someone stumbles accross it, could you let Kirk know???), otherwise, I could UUENCODE it and mail it if you wish (leave some Email if interested). -Mike neusoft@vax1.mankato.msus.edu

It's public domain (I think). It does several conversions including some of the ones you're missing. Marc R. Roussel mroussel@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca
