macptopbm - convert a MacPaint file into a portable bitmap

Reads a MacPaint file as input. Produces a portable bitmap as output.
OOOPPPTTTIIIOOONNNSSS
---eeexxxtttrrraaassskkkiiippp
This flag is to get around a problem with some methods of
transferring files from the Mac world to the Unix world. Most of
these methods leave the Mac files alone, but a few of them add the
"finderinfo" data onto the front of the Unix file. This means an
extra 128 bytes to skip over when reading the file. The symptom to
watch for is that the resulting PBM file looks shifted to one side.
If you get this, try ---eeexxxtttrrraaassskkkiiippp 128, and if that still doesn't look
right try another value.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
