Hello netters... A simple question... I'm trying to port macpaint files to xbm format. The macpaint files usually contain many icons, and I have to cut and paste these into separate files before I read'em into the Sun and apply macptoxbm. Is there a tool on public domain able to read an xbm file, and allow the user to cut a section of that file, and write that section into another xbm file... Has anybody had to do this PAINFUL task, and has found a more intelligent way to do it... Any info will be appreciated... Rob Herrera rob@knopfler.leis.bellcore.com

I don't know offhand whether it's public domain or not (I suspect not), but Jef Poskanzer's pbmplus package is free, and can do this... xbmtopbm < xbm-file-in | pnmcut x y w h | pbmtoxbm > xbm-file-out der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
