and if you want to convert them on the command-line (like you would if
you wanted to automate the conversion in a script), you can use
convert (see: man convert) from ImageMagick. I believe there are
builds of ImageMagick for Irix, linux and cygwin.

ImageMagick will want you to use a .sgi extension for SGI's .rgb
files. So your script would have to do something like this:

convert blah.jpg blah.sgi
mv blah.sgi blah.rgb
