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 trans-
    ferring 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 "finderinfo"  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 prefix.
