see jpg(1) for the conversion programs in the distribution,
which might do if you can get those formats, but they don't
include bmp.   i've got a bmp conversion program at home
that i'll try to find tonight.

Is there an easy way to convert say Windows .bmp files into Plan9 .bit
files. I've just started using Plan9 and basically need a way of getting
scanned images into my Limbo programs.

Thanks for any help anyone can give,
Matt
