Mac MacPaint to Symbolics MacPaint

["G. Murdock Helms" <timelord@EOS.ARC.NASA.GOV>]

I have a variety of digitized images that have been saved in Macintosh
MacPaint format, which I am trying to use Symbolics MacPaint on.
Unfortunately, Symbolics MacPaint seems to want the files in 16 bit
format instead of the 8 that Mac MacPaint saves them in.  Is there anything
I can do to convert these files to 16 bit format so I can use them on 
the Symbolics?

Thanks!
