I know, nobody uses hercules adapters anymore, but still, I thought some might find it amusing to look over this program anyway.
It's basically a program that displays a NetPBM/PBMPlus .pbm file on a hercules adapter. It was intended for Linux, and was written (and useful :) back before Linux had an X11 or MGR implementation on it yet.
Anyway, you can download it here
BTW, hercules pixels aren't square, so to get a decent aspect ratio:
seki-strombrg> cat pnmherc
#!/bin/sh
pnmscale -xscale 1.625 "$@" | \
pnmscale -xysize 720 348 | \
ppmtopgm | \
pgmtopbm
