Sorry to repeat my meassge but my Email starting bouncing not long after 
I sent the original message out. 

Is it possible to add new conversion routines to wu-ftpd ? I want to be 
able to do automatic image format conversions when retrieving image files.
For example, I might have an SGI RGB file and want to retrieve it as a 
GIF file. I want to be able to execute a command like the following:

( test is the SGI file )

GET test.gif.gz

Looking at the code quickly it appears that this is possible. WOuld like 
pointers on what to do if it can be done.

Dear Mr. Jortner,

	I'd be glad to simply know how it's possible to use the standard 
conversions for the wuftpd server. If you could send me a sample ftpconversions
file that works or any clue about the reason why it doesn't work at all, it 
would be very helpful.

	Thank you very much in advance,
