Here are a couple utilities to make life easier for somebody:

1. Convert any MacPaint file to a PIF/RAD file.
   	Read charm$userdisk:[theurer.mac]mp.doc for details.
2. Digitize a picture and get a PIF/RAD file, almost as easily 
   as running the Xerox machine.
	The digitization is done on Mary Sumner's scanner / Mac II system.
	"Publish Pac" program scans your picture and produces a 
	MacPaint file (bi-level or halftone style 1 bit deep).
	(You can specify the size of the resulting picture).
	Then execute the MacPaint to PIF/RAD conversion.
   	This works really well on line drawings.

Coming Real Soon Now:
   Conversion of TIFF files (scanned pictures with 256 grey levels) to RAD.
