NAME
    pbmtomda - convert a portable bitmap to a Microdesign .mda

SYNOPSIS
    pbmtomda [-d][-i][--] [ pbmfile ]

DESCRIPTION
    Reads a portable bitmap file as input. Reads from stdin if input file
    is omitted. Produces a MicroDesign 2 area file (.MDA) as output.

OPTIONS
    -d   Halve the height of the output file, to compensate for the
    aspect ratio used in MicroDesign files.

    -i   Invert the colours used.

    --   End of options (use this if the filename starts with "-")

BUGS
    There's no way to produce files in MicroDesign 3 format. MD3 itself and
    mdatopbm(1) can read files in either format.

SEE ALSO
