PIL can't open bmp

[Thomas Kwapich]

Hi,

I need to convert bmp files to eps files under win98. I thought using 
python (v2.1) and the python image library (v1.1.1) is a good idea. But 
when I try to open an bmp file I get an IOError: Unsupported BMP pixel 
depth. So, what can I do?

Many thanks in advance.
