  well, you can use gimp or one of:

jojda:/var/spool/mail# pnmto<Tab>
pnmtoddif      pnmtojpeg      pnmtops        pnmtosir       
pnmtofiasco    pnmtopalm      pnmtorast      pnmtotiff      
pnmtofits      pnmtoplainpnm  pnmtorle       pnmtotiffcmyk  
pnmtojbig      pnmtopng       pnmtosgi       pnmtoxwd       
jojda:/var/spool/mail# pnmto

  but of course, you can use gimp to work directly with xwd.

  There are probably other programs that work with pnm (and xwd).

  PS you'd better not ask me where to find pnmtops! :-))
