MacLinkPlus 6.0 will convert your .BMP files in a batch, but you must
drag-select them in a dialog box. Also, it won't remove the old files - make
sure you've got lots of disk space. It might be better to do them in smaller
batches - a hundred or so at a time. I've never done more than about a dozen at
once.
