The "netpbm" package can convert:

anytopnm*       giftoppm*       pbmtopgm*       pstoppm*        sputoppm*
atktopbm*       gouldtoppm*     pcxtoppm*       pstopxm@        tgatoppm*
bioradtopgm*    hipstopgm*      pgmtopbm*       qrttoppm*       tifftopnm*
bmptoppm*       hpcdtoppm*      pgmtoppm*       rasttopnm*      xbmtopbm*
brushtopbm*     icontopbm*      pi1toppm*       rawtopgm*       ximtoppm*
cmuwmtopbm*     ilbmtoppm*      pi3topbm*       rawtoppm*       xpmtoppm*
fitstopgm*      imgtoppm*       picttoppm*      rgb3toppm*      xwdtopnm*
fstopgm*        lispmtopgm*     pjtoppm*        sirtopnm*       ybmtopbm*

[pstop?m is a script that uses "gs"]

and then:
