#A few months ago, Jef Poskanzer posted a family of programs to convert
#between several different bitmap formats, Macpaint and Sun rasterfile
#were among them.  I don't have the whole package.  So if anyone has it
#or remembers where it was posted/what archive site to get it from,
#please speak up.

Unfortunately, the program collection has nothing to go from <any format#
to a MacPaint format.  It has a program to go MacPaint to pbm (portable bitmap).
The collection is available for anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu.
The decimal address of expo is 18.30.0.212 and the file (I think) is
contrib/pbm.tar.Z in compressed format.  If anyone else has such a program
(<anything> --> MacPaint), I would like to get a copy.
