I think the menus have changed since 1.x, so if you have that, you may have to look around a bit. Open the xpm-file in GIMP. Select: Image => Mode => Indexed In the popup, select: Use Black and White (1-Bit) Palette No Color Dithering Select Save As and save as *.xbm. Just click OK on the dialog that pops up (no XBM options choosen). Use xbmtopbm to convert to pbm. I actually saved as *.pnm and used xv, since I didn't have xbmtopbm on the machine I was on at the time. The results are identical though. Jan D.
