Well, I've not seen a datatype, but there is HPCDtoPPM available on aminet.

src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/pub/aminet/gfx/pbm/hpcdtoppm-0.6.lha     138K

This does the best job I've seen, of course for big images it requires
fairly massive gobs of memory. I recall 72M for a 3072x2048, better dust off
VMM. (and be prepared to leave it overnight)

It will even read the 6144x4096 image, but I only tried this on one
of the AIX boxes at work that has 256M ram and 4G swap.


Cheers,

Doug.
