Produces a Macintosh PICT file as output.\n\nThe  generated  file  is  only  the  data fork of a picture.  You will need a program such as\nmcvert to generate a Macbinary or a BinHex file that contains the  necessary  information  to\nidentify the file as a PICT file to MacOS.\n\nEven  though  PICT  supports 2 and 4 bits per pixel, ppmtopict always generates an 8 bits per\npixel file.\n\n### BUGS\n\nThe picture size field is only correct if the output is to a file  since  writing  into  this\nfield  requires seeking backwards on a file.  However the PICT documentation seems to suggest\nthat this field is not critical anyway since it is only the lower  16  bits  of  the  picture\nsize.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\npicttoppm(1), ppm(5), mcvert(1)\n\n### AUTHOR\n\nCopyright (C) 1990 by Ken Yap <ken@cs.rocester.edu>.\n\n\n\n15 April 1990                               ppmtopict(1)\n\n"
