I remember I used to have a DOS-based paint program on my old 286 that created graphics in this format. I don't know if it is the same one you have. If I remember right, it was not compat with anything and I cannot remember what it was from.
On second thought, I "think" it could be converted using version of a program called Image Alchemy...a command line graphics conversion program that was VERY strong...and VERY difficult to use unless you were into command line programs with many switches. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

My opinions are mine, and neither you nor my company can take credit for them.

Subject: .art file format
Is anyone familiar with a .art file format? If so, what software is used
to create it?
We recently recieved a file in this format and have been unable to open
it. We suspect it may actually be an Adobe file that has been renamed,
but just in case it isn't, I thought I would ask.
