NAME

       ppmtopict - convert a portable pixmap into a Macintosh PICT file

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtopict [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a Macintosh PICT 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 PICT file to MacOS.

       Even though PICT supports 2 and 4 bits per pixel, ppmtopict always generates an 8 bits per pixel file.

BUGS

       The picture size field is only correct if the output is to a file since writing into this field requires seeking backwards on a file.  How-
       ever the PICT documentation seems to suggest that this field is not critical anyway since it is only the lower 16 bits of the picture size.
