NAME
       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, ppm_
       topict 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.  However 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.
