NAME

macptopbm - convert a MacPaint file into a portable bitmap  

SYNOPSIS

macptopbm [-headersize <n>] [macpfile]  

DESCRIPTION

Reads a MacPaint file as input. Produces a portable bitmap as output.

The -headersize flag is to get around an apparent shortcoming in some implementations of the MacPaint format. According to the spec, the header size is supposed to be 512, and this is the default; however, some implementations use 640, or other values. The symptom to watch for is that the resulting PBM file looks shifted to one side. If you get this, try -h 640, and if that still doesn't look right try another value.

All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
