NAME
       plaintov - convert image from Vista plain file format to Vista data file

SYNOPSIS
       plaintov [-option ...] [infile] [outfile]

DESCRIPTION
       plaintov reads an image in Vista plain file format and writes is as a Vista data file.

       Plain file format, defined in Vplain(5Vi), allows a small image to be created entirely using a text editor because it represents pixel val-
       ues in ASCII. In a Vista data file, those pixel values are encoded in binary.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       plaintov accepts the following options:

       -help	      Prints a message describing options.

       -in infile     Specifies the input file, which is in Vista plain file format.

       -out outfile   Specifies the output file, which will be a Vista data file.

       -name name     Specifies the name to be given the converted image. Default: ``image''.

       Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams.
