NAME
       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.
