## NAME
       pbmtoepsi  -  convert a portable bitmap into an encapsulated PostScript
       style preview bitmap

## SYNOPSIS
       pbmtoepsi [-bbonly] [pbmfile]

## DESCRIPTION
       Reads a portable bitmap as input.  Produce an  encapsulated  Postscript
       style  bitmap  as  output.  The  output is not a stand alone postscript
       file, it is only a preview bitmap, which can be included in an encapsu-
       lated  PostScript  file.   Note  that there is no epsitopbm tool - this
       transformation is one way.

       This  utility  is  a  part  of  the  pstoepsi  tool  by  Doug   Crabill
       (<dgc@cs.purdue.edu>).

## OPTIONS
### -bbonly
              Only create a boundary box, don't fill it with the image.
