NAME

       pbmtomacp - convert a portable bitmap into a MacPaint file

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtomacp [-l left] [-r right] [-b bottom] [-t top] [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable bitmap as input.  If no input-file is given, standard input is assumed.
       Produces a MacPaint file as output.

       The generated file is only the data fork of a picture.  You will need a  program  such  as
       mcvert to generate a Macbinary or a BinHex file that contains the necessary information to
       identify the file as a PNTG file to MacOS.

OPTIONS

       Left, right, bottom & top let you define  a  square  into  the  pbm  file,  that  must  be
       converted.   Default is the whole file.  If the file is too large for a MacPaint-file, the
       bitmap is cut to fit from ( left, top ).

BUGS

       The source code contains comments in a language other than English.
