Panasonic Calls It .PBE?

TrumpetX asks: "A friend of mine and I have been asked by our boss to do an image extraction from a KV-F510 Panasonic scanning station. The extraction program (which works in a 16 bit environment only) works fine, but it spits out .PBE file formats with some unreadable .INF files. I was wondering if any of the /. readers out there have used one of these dinasour scanning stations before, and if someone could shed some light on how to convert the .PBE files to another format (TIF, GIF, BMP, or anything else readable, really)."
