[comp.dcom.fax] Converting a G3 fax image

mss1155@cs.rit.edu (Michael S Simone) (04/24/91)

    I am in need of a way to convert a G3 fax image into a sun raster
image or anything of the like, such as GIF, PBM, TIFF, etc. If anyone
has any info I would be thankful.

        First try converting the g3 file to portable bit map format using 
        the program 'g3topbm'.  Then you can one of the following routes:

        1)  pbmtorast   --    pbm to Sun rasterfile.
        2)  pbmtoxbm    --    pbm to X11 bitmap format.

	All these executables are found under /usr/bin/X11 in our machine.

   Hope this helps.

Source in X/contrib/pbmplus.tar.Z at finer archives everywhere.  It's
not a given that an installation with X will necessarrily have all the
contributed software compiled & installed.
