ad 1: There are a some conversion utilities called convert.0 and convert.2.
They come with the Sun distribution and are somewhere like
/usr/local/rasters or /usr/lib/rasfilters... I forgot. However, if
screenload fails, this might also happen with those converters.
[[ Hey wow. Sure enough, they're in /usr/lib/rasfilters. In our release
there's even source for convert.2. The standard distribution doesn't have
a /usr/local (or if it does, it's empty). --wnl ]]
ad 2: GIF can be converted to Sun rasterfiles with the GIF2RAS program by
Patrick Naughton at Sun (I hope I remember the name right). A simple
version of the program is in Jef Poskanzer's PBM package. You could also
use `bmx', a bitmap conversion package I have written, and which allows
you to convert any of the 18 input formats to Sun rasterfiles (and
others).
