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. SEE ALSO

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. SEE ALSO
