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.

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.

Are the Terminal commands used in Mac OS 10.1.3 the same as those found on a real Unix system? if they are, what book would you recommend as a terminal refferance guide?
I already have 'The Missing Manual' by O'Reilly, but there ain't much in terms of managing the system via the terminal :(

Hi,
as a Mac OS X user I am not into Unix at all. But since it is possible to run Unix application on Mac I am specialy interested in a program making scientifical graphs. There is SigmaPlot for WIN PC´s and this is more or less what I would like to use.
So, here comes the question: is there a... (3 Replies)
Okay I have been doing some research on this and have been trying to figure out how much Unix is actually behind OSX and how much has been custom made to the Mac. The reason I was wondering is with Photoshop and Dreamweaver moving over to OSX platform I wondered if there might be a chance they will... (4 Replies)
Just "getting my feet wet" so to to speak in the Unix world. I have a couple of basic questions:

Hello. Somehow I got out of my gui Mac OS 10.2 into Unix single-user mode. No matter what I've tried, I can't get out of Unix. I've tried the command "reboot" with no success. I've tried a safe boot, an X boot, and a couple of others and nothing seems to work. I can use the Unix commands to... (4 Replies)
Hi all, and thanks for viewing this thread.
I have never used the terminal (UNIX) before, not until I read an introductory book about it: Unix for Mac OS X Tiger. Now I've become intrigued, and I want to uncover more of the mysteries of Unix. I've searched and searched, but there are many books... (5 Replies)
I know how to install Unix or Linux on my Mac using bootcamp, I installed the Ubuntu distribution of Linux on my Mac. Basically I'm looking for advice on what OS I should learn with. I am fiercely interested in programming, and am learning C++ and Python at the moment.
