Convert PALM to SIX

The PALM file extension, standing for Palm Pixmap, is a bitmap image format used by Palm OS mobile devices. It stores logos, clipart, photos, and other images for display in Palm OS applications. Originating from the now-discontinued Palm OS, the PALM format evolved through several versions, with later iterations supporting transparency and run-length encoding compression. PALM files are compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, and can be opened and converted using tools.

The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.
