This may have been address before but is there anyway to
convert a Mac file either a super paint, or GIF file to
a X bitmap file. I have some background that I would like to
use with for eg. xsetroot -bitmap XXXX

I have some background that I would like to |use with for eg. xsetroot -bitmap XXXX I have a different utility, xloadimage, which I've been writing which supports multiple image formats (currently sun rasterfile, X, and Faces Project but with PBM and some others coming). If you use the pbm utilities and convert the mac images to sun images, you'll find that my utility will work just fine as is and will operate substantially faster than xsetroot for the same purpose. Xloadimage also supports viewing images in a window and viewing color images on monochrome or smaller-depth color displays amongst a variety of other simple image manipulations. If you are interested I'll email it to you. If you have the Mac image format I can write an image loader for xloadimage in a few hours which will eliminate the conversion requirement. jim frost software tool & die madd@std.com
