I am looking for some way to transfer pictures created in Deluxe Paint
to Pascal programs (TP 5.0). 
Deluxe Paint saves pictures in files that have extention .LBM
and it includes a conversion program that can transfer between this
and some other formats. Information on the convert utility is enclosed.

Does anyone know where I can find a description of the format of
the .LBM files, or some of the formats supported by the convert utility ?

 =  
 =  Electronic Arts Picture File Conversion Utility (v1.0)
 =  ------------------------------------------------------
 =  This program converts pictures from one format to another.
 =  Usage: convert     [-g]
 =  Input type can be:
 =      -d:  DeluxePaint
 =      -p:  PC Paintbrush 3.0
 =      -w:  Microsoft Windows Paint
 =      -m:  MacPaint
 =  Output type can be:
 =      -d:  DeluxePaint
 =      -p1: PC Paintbrush 3.0, CGA 320 x 200
 =      -p2: PC Paintbrush 3.0, CGA 640 x 200
 =      -p3: PC Paintbrush 3.0, EGA 640 x 350
 =      -p4: PC Paintbrush 3.0, Hercules
 =      -p5: PC Paintbrush 3.0, MCGA 320 x 200
 =      -w:  Microsoft Windows Paint
 =      -m:  MacPaint
 =  If you add the "-g" option and your output type is Windows Paint or
 =  MacPaint, the picture will be dithered to simulate shades of gray.
 =  This will lose some detail, but may be more appropriate for certain
 =  multi-colored pictures.
