Bill is absolutely correct, convert can do that for you.  Haven't done it in some years, so I don't recollect enough to give you example syntax, but there are command-line args that will position the 1500x634 image on a 1500x1500 canvas and specify the color of the canvas.

Where Can I download ImageMagick for SCO Unix ? I don't have the skunkware CD. Or should I get the source code and compile it ?
