NAME
       bmptoppm - convert a BMP file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
       bmptoppm [bmpfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a Microsoft Windows or OS/2 BMP file as input.  Produces a portable pixmap as output.

       This  program  cannot convert BMP files with compressed (run length encoded) image data.  It recognizes the compression and issues an error
       message.

       This program cannot convert BMP files with 16 bits per pixel (only because the author did not have a complete specification for them).	It
       recognizes the format and issues an error message.
