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.
