They're all Linux/Unix programs. The gimp is just used to convert the
X-colour gif to a 4 colour gif with a palette that the Palm likes. The
actual gif -> pdb conversion is done by small programs (like ImageMagik
I think.. you know, that big collection of "format2format" programs
gif2tiff, pbm2pnm etc..)
