I'm looking for a rather off-the-wall utility that may exist, 
but probably doesn't.  I'm just asking before I go off and write one
myself.   anyway.. onward..

I've got an Envision 220 (vt100-esque, with Tek 4014-esque, and 16 from
4096 color extentions). anyway. I want a tool (preferably useable with
pbmplus utils or some such) that will convert an image bitmap into
dots i can plot on my tek-esque screen.  the things graphics screen can
display 640x400x16, (from 4096 colors), so I figure it's slightly better
than an old EGA display. It'd make a neat hack to get an old 16 color GIF
up on one..........

(Yes, you read that right, I want a Tek GIF viewer.  I warned you it was 
obscure..)

anyway.. The envision display i've got is quite perfectly capable of 
doing it (albiet REALLY slowly at 9600bps), I just dont want to 
reinvent the wheel or anything...

Any pointers for the terminally insane?  

Anyone want a copy if I end up having to write my own and actually 
finish the project?

Anyone stopped laughing yet?  

;)
