Converting to PNG from PCX - Converting from PCX to PNG - Using Linux

Converting images if there are more than one or to can be a daunting task, converting nearly 900 of them from PCX to PNG in order to make them available for a larger public seemed like an impossibility, however a quick search got me to ImageMagick and next I knew I was scripting along, I know its crude and it can be beautified but it works.

The following requires that you have Imagemagick installed

for img in `ls *.pcx`; do convert $img $img.png; done

Changing the file name ending to the correct ending

for f in *.PCX.png ; do mv $f `basename $f PCX.png`.png; done
