NAME
       read-palmpix - Convert all pictures in the files given or found via connecting to a Palm handheld if no files are given. The default output
       type is Portable Pixmap (.ppm).

SYNOPSIS
       read-palmpix -p <port> -n <pixname> -t <type>

DESCRIPTION
       read-palmpix allows a Kodak PalmPix camera user to extract the images from their Palm handheld device and convert them to Portable  Network
       Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files on their system.

   OPTIONS
       -p --port <port>
	      Use  device  file port to communicate with the Palm handheld device. If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environ-
	      ment variable. If both are not found, will fall back to /dev/pilot.

       -h --help
	      Display help synopsis for read-palmpix

       -v --version
	      Display version of read-palmpix

       -l --list
	      List picture information found on the device instead of converting them to image files

       -n --name <pixname>
	      Convert only pixname to an image file, and output to stdout as a .ppm or .png

       -t --type <type>
	      Specify the output picture type. Can be either "png" or "ppm".

USAGE
       The program will connect to the target Palm handheld device, and read the images found in the Kodak PalmPix image database, and	allow  the
       user  to  view  the list of images, or to select one or all of them, and convert them to Portable Network Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap
       (.ppm) files to be viewed or printed at the desktop level. If no options are specified, all of the images on the device will  be  converted
       to ppm files.

KNOWN BUGS
       read-palmpix's colour correction is not as good as Kodak's.
