Thanks, Lu. It was a little backwards (I need to convert from png to
bmp), so I ran:
$ for i in *png ; do convert $i ${i//.png/.bmp} ; done

There was .bmp files created, however, they do not seem to be real bmp
files. The images are all broken and no program (KoulorPaint, for
instance) can open them.
Can I do anything else? Thanks.
