[vox-tech] Gimp and batch processing tga to whathaveyou

[Jimbo]

Perfect!  This is exactly what I was looking for.

Nice light and does what I want.  And I can use it under windows.  And heck, 
I don't haev to convert to view.

I have a game called team fortress 2in which it uses tga format for 
snapshots.  I use it under windows.  Don't shoot me but I am a gamer and 
find it hard to get games to port over to linux.

Thanx Nick, Bill and Alex and Troy for the help.

Jim
