Converting POV Bitmaps to PNG?

When I build instructions I like to work with PNG files.  Historically I
have produced bitmaps with LD-Lite and converted them to PNG with
ImageMagick.  I am using LPub to drive POV-Ray and the output is also bitmap
(BMP).  When I run ImageMagick on these bitmaps to convert them to PNG
format it fails.  Has anyone else run into to this?  I can convert the POV
generated bitmaps to PNG with Photoshop and I can convert them to JPG with
ImageMagick but can't get ImageMagick to convert them directly to PNG (which
I want to do as part of a script).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

(...) Why not let POVray generate .PNG directly? I know it's possible when you run POV 'by hand', but I don't know if LPub lets you set that option. Maybe you can modify somewhere in the pov .ini-chain to get the option set regardless of what LPub (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
