NAME
       macptopbm - convert a MacPaint file into a portable bitmap

SYNOPSIS
       macptopbm [-extraskip N] [macpfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a MacPaint file  as  input.   Produces  a	portable
       bitmap as output.

OPTIONS
       -extraskip
	      This  flag  is  to  get  around a problem with some
	      methods of transferring files from the Mac world to
	      the  Unix world.	Most of these methods leave the
	      Mac files alone, but a few of them add the "finder-
	      info"  data  onto the front of the Unix file.  This
	      means an extra 128 bytes to skip over when  reading
	      the  file.   The	symptom to watch for is that the
	      resulting PBM file looks shifted to one  side.   If
	      you get this, try -extraskip 128, and if that still
	      doesn't look right try another value.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
       fix.
