You didn't say what format the C library uses: perhaps it's one of the many for which conversion programs already exist. If you are running on a *nix system (Unix, Linux, BSD, Solaris ...) the portable bitmap package may already have a conversion program. And then there's always ImageMagick, which also can convert to and from innumerable image formats. If the issue is more one of learning how to write a Gimp plug-in, other messages in this thread will probably be of more help. HTH, -- Jeff
