I posted a bmptoppm/ppmtobmp pair of programs in alt.sources (I think)
a while back.  I also sent them to Jef for him to add to pbmplus.
They don't yet handle RLE-encoded BMP files, since I didn't know they
existed at the time I wrote the programs.  I'll be working on them
again after I finish my smiley book.
