Convert an image into a 2-bit pcx file

Hi all,

 

a collegue of mine has to put a (scan of) digital image into an AS/400 system. It's a drawing that has to be scanned in. IT department said it could only be stored as a 2-bit PCX image. I offered to help, but I don't know what the hell that means (2-bit image) and I don't know how to do it (the conversion) either.

 

I can scan/convert the image into any format Photoshop(7.0) can handle. Any tools used should be available on WinNT, preferably stand-alone programs.

 

Any idea? Any clues?

 

I searched a lot for sites about this, but no luck so far...

 

Tx,

Might want to check out ImageMagick (that's how it is spelled). It is either linux or windows. Have no idea with a 2 bit image is.. lol kinda small.. 2 bits would support 4 colors (00, 01, 10, 11). Then again AS400 are really kinda old.. Let us know what you figure..

Well, IT guys say now it has to be a 1-bit image... :confused:

 

We tried and it still doesn't work, so IT staff is going to ask the company which told us to do so (convert it) in the first place ;)
