[NTLK] Image editing on the eMate 300

[Alexander Shendi]

Thank you both for your replies (Grant and Tom),

I now have written an ANSI C program to convert a netpbm portable bitmap to a V1 PICT file. It seems the only color depth supported is 1.

For connection I have:
* The serial port
* Matthias Melcher's dongle
* Maybe a PCMCIA network card.

But I think the Newtons are too hard for a computer layman like myself to use.
Don't know, if I'll keep them.
