Not that I know of. It seems not to be a widely used graphics format and I found little support for it. Programs that I did find that can read it, such as XnView that Merete mentioned, cannot write it. Even XnConvert, the companion program to XnView that is specifically designed for conversion, can only read FAC, not write it:
> Could you provide a FAC file that you managed to convert using the above mentioned programs?
I haven't tried, as I don't have a UNIX system on which to run Netpbm. I do have GIMP running on my W7 system and toyed with the idea of using Netpbm2Gimp, but opted not to move forward with that. Regards, Joe

No sorry I don't have a FAC these are rarely used trihoang and have no purpose.
That's why I asked why you wanted to convert a perfectly working jpg or png to Fac

Joe's two-step process to convert it works well and Merete's idea not to convert it but rather to view it in XnView has merit. Recommend split between them.
Thankyou Joe
You're welcome, Merete. I'm glad we now have an easy way of dealing with abandoned questions, especially ones like this that have been abandoned for more than a year. Cheers, Joe
