[alt.graphics.pixutils] Converting: Mac-Graphic --> Sun-Rasterfile

fenek@ascom.uucp (Franz Brandl) (02/28/91)

Hi,
Anybody out there knows of a PD software for converting
Macintosh graphic formats (PICT, MacPaint) to a format
that I could use on my Sun workstation (Sun rasterfile).

If you know where to find the appropriate software,
please drop me a note.
Any help is really appreciated because I have no idea
how to do this.

Thanks in advance,

          fenek
