       ppmtopcx [-24bit] [-packed] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a PCX file as output.  The
       type of the PCX file depends on the number of colors in the pixmap:

       16 colors or less:
	      1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes.

       256 colors or less:
	      8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.

       More than 256 colors:
	      24bit truecolor file (8 bits/pixel, 3 planes).

OPTIONS
       -24bit Produce a 24bit truecolor file, even if the pixmap has 256  col‐
	      ors or less.

       -packed
	      Use  "packed  pixel" format for files with 16 colors or less: 1,
	      2, or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane.
