Could someone please re-post information about obtaining a utility to convert
GIF images to BMP files? Thanks.

I have found a utility that will do what you are looking for. It will convert
GIF files to PCX format that Windows 3.0 can read.  The program is called
GRAFIX WORKSHOP and the current version is 3.1.  The program will convert these
formats: MAC paint, GEM, PCX, GIF, TIFF, Postscript, WPG, MSP and IFF formats.

If the file has to many colors you can use the dithering function in the
program. It can use the following dithering algorythms, BAYER, Floyd
(unidirectional and Directional) Burks, and Stucki formats.

The program is should be avalible under the name GRAFWK31.ZIP

I hope this helps.

Stephen.
