pbmtomacp(1)                           General Commands Manual                          pbmtomacp(1)



NAME
       pbmtomacp - convert a portable bitmap into a MacPaint file

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtomacp [-l left] [-r right] [-b bottom] [-t top] [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a  portable  bitmap  as  input.  If no input-file is given, standard input is assumed.
       Produces a MacPaint file as output.

       The generated file is only the data fork of a picture.  You  will  need  a  program  such  as
       mcvert  to  generate  a Macbinary or a BinHex file that contains the necessary information to
       identify the file as a PNTG file to MacOS.

OPTIONS
       Left, right, bottom & top let you define a square into the pbm file, that must be  converted.
       Default  is  the whole file.  If the file is too large for a MacPaint-file, the bitmap is cut
       to fit from ( left, top ).

BUGS
       The source code contains comments in a language other than English.
