[comp.sys.mac.misc] Microsoft Paint -> Pbm

wyle@ethz.uucp (05/29/90)

A student drew 750 diagrams in MS Paint (under MS windows) and gave them
to our secretary; she needs them in a Macintosh format.  Can any existing
bitmap conversion program(s) read "MS Windows Paint" format?

Thank y'all kindly.    -Mitch  (wyle@inf.ethz.ch)

Try importing the diagrams into Pagemaker for the PC, then transfer the 
pagemaker file to the Mac. I wonder if that will work.
 
You might also look into Maclink Plus because it has numerous file 
translation routines.  But I think it's rather skimpy on bitmap transfers.
 
Wait.  OK, got it!  In the PC, you should transfer those paint pix to TIFF 
files. (Try opening them with a scanning program, then save as TIFF.)
 
The TIFF files should open into a program that can read tiff on the mac.
