- NAME
- macptopbm - convert a MacPaint file into a portable bitmap
-
- SYNOPSIS
- macptopbm [-extraskip N] [macpfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a MacPaint file as input. Produces a portable bitmap
- as output.
-
- OPTIONS
- -extraskip
- 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 -extraskip
- 128, and if that still doesn't look right try another
- value.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
- prefix.
