 Try PBMPlus (I'm pretty sre you can get it from the AB20 archives...)
 It'll convert to ilbm format and if the original was say 640X400X256 then
 it'll convert it to a large ham picture. PBMPlus also offers many other
 options. (Other converters are HamSharp which always converts to 320 wide HAM
 and GIFMachine which only runs under 2.0)

Uh uh.  GIFMachine runs nicely under 1.3, though of course it only
produces Sliced-HAM images.

Well, version 1.0 will run just fine on a WB1.3.  I'm pretty sure
you can find it on a fish disk???  I just WISH wb2.0 would come the HELL
out!

Yes, the new gifmachine (from Fish 40x) runs only under 2.0 - I'm afraid.
I myself am writing a new ppmtoilbm from the pbmplus package to run under SUNOS.
With floyd-steinberg error correction, fs dithering, median cut color map 
allociation algorithm and much more. But I'm not ready yet, it needs so
much time to test the sparc generated iffs to Amiga - I don't have a link.
