macptopbm(1) AMIGA (29 March 1989) macptopbm(1)
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.
