- 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.
-
- The -extraskip flag is to get around a problem with some
- methods of transfering 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 -e 128, and if that still doesn't look right try
- another value.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
- fix.
