The Andrew contribution to the X tape includes a Raster Graphics
Toolkit, which was done as part of the NSF-funded EXPRES project.  The
RG Toolkit provides support for converting among a number of raster
formats:

    Amiga Interchange File Format (IFF)
    Andrew (ATK) Raster Format
    CompuServe's Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)
    Group 3 Facsimile Encoding (CCITT Recommendation T.4)
    Group 4 Facsimile Encoding (CCITT Recommendation T.6) 
    MacPaint Document Format
    ODA Bitmap Format
    Portable BitMap Format (PBM)
    Postscript (Output format only)
    Sun Raster Format
    X Bitmap Format

The RG Tool Kit can be found under the Andrew Toolkit contribution
directory in "oda/raster".  The installation directions are in
"oda/doc/install.txt" (maybe "install.doc", I forget).  Complete
documentation for the RG Toolkit is available (for a small charge to
cover costs)  from the ITC by sending mail:
