Does anyone know any programs which will convert a PC format such as PNG/BMP or whatever, into PI2 images ? Xconvert only has PI1 format and it wont do it :(

XnConvert can do PI1 but not PI2
Not sure if there is anything else that can do that.

Edit : I should fully read what you wrote before responding .. need more coffee ;)

If you are on linux, netpbm has pi3topbm

$ pi3topbm < BILD.PI3 | pnmtopng > BILD.PNG
$ file BILD.PNG
BILD.PNG: PNG image data, 640 x 400, 1-bit grayscale, non-interlaced
