Although it hasn't been posted to comp.{binaries|sources}.amiga, if you
are going to use "FBM" to do and pictures conversion, DON'T. Instead,
use the "PBMPLUS" utility that is twice as powerful and handles many
better formats. The biggest plus about the PBM package is that the
Amiga IFF conversion utilities actually look GOOD! The "fbmtoham" and
other conversion utilities in "FBM" produce very bad results.
