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.
