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, ppmtopict always gen-
    erates 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.
