This translator converts B&W and 16, 256 Color Windows (.BMP) bitmaps formated files to Macintosh PICT formatted files.
A copy of the PICT file is also left in the Clipboard, ready to paste into another application.

Sample log file when translating a B&W BitMap image:

   COPYTOM.BMP --> COPYTOM.BMP  {Windows BMP to PICT}

   Width: 475, Height: 228, Depth (Bits per Pixcell):1
   Source file size (in Bytes):13742

The resulting file is a B&W PICT file.


Sample log file when translating a 16 color BitMap version of the same image:

   COPYTO.BMP --> COPYTO.BMP  {Windows BMP to PICT}

   Width: 475, Height: 228, Depth (Bits per Pixcell):4
   Source file size (in Bytes):54838

The resulting file is a 16 Color PICT file.



Sample log file when translating a 16 color BitMap version of the same image:

   COPYTOx.BMP --> COPYTOx.BMP  {Windows BMP to PICT}

   Width: 475, Height: 228, Depth (Bits per Pixcell):8
   Source file size (in Bytes):54838

The resulting file is a 256 Color PICT file.
NOTE: Color may not be translated correctly.
