I NEED TO CONVERT MACPAINT, GIF, OR SUNRASTERS, INTO A FORMAT THAT I CAN USE WITH X-WINDOWS. I HAVE SEEN NO MENTION OF X ANYWHERE IN THIS NEWSGROUP, WHY? CAN X READ IMAGES IN THOSE OTHER STANDARDS? COULD ANYONE TELL ME WHERE TO FTP TO GET THESE CONVERTERS? THANKS.

The X Window System is heavily (approx 75 to 100 messages per day) discussed in the comp.windows.x newsgroup and xpert@expo.lcs.mit.edu mailing list. Note: these 2 are gatewayed, so you only need to access one. Mail to xpert-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu to get added to the mailing list. |> CAN X READ IMAGES IN THOSE OTHER STANDARDS? The standard X distribution from MIT includes the PBM system for converting between many graphics formats. There is also a program called xgif the can be ftp'ed from most archives, including gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/comp.sources.x/xgif. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
