ppmtopict(1) General Commands Manual ppmtopict(1)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.

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.

We have quite a few threads about this subject. I have collected some of them and arranged them by the OS which is primarily discussed in the thread. That is because the exact procedure depends on the OS involved. What's more, since you often need to interact with the boot process, the... (0 Replies)
I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am. Before anyone says that's not possible,... (4 Replies)
