+.SH NAME
+lispmtopgm - convert a Lisp Machine bitmap file to PGM
+
+.UN synopsis
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBlispmtopgm\fP
+[\fIlispmfile\fP]
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBlistpmfile\fP reads a Lisp Machine bitmap as input and
+produces a PGM image as output.
+.PP
+This is the file format written by the tv:write-bit-array-file
+function on TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.
+.PP
+Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the Lispm image
+file format does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a
+monochrome instead and produce PGM. This is unfortunate.
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+There are no command line options defined specifically
+for \fBlispmtopgm\fP, but it recognizes the options common to all
+programs based on libnetpbm (See
+.UR index.html#commonoptions

+
+.UN limitations
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+
+The Lispm bitmap file format is a bit quirky; Usually the image in the file
+has its width rounded up to the next higher multiple of 32, but not always.
+If the width is not a multiple of 32, we don't deal with it properly, but
+because of the Lispm microcode, such arrays are probably not image data
+anyway.
+.PP
+Also, the Lispm code for saving bitmaps has a bug, in that if you
+are writing a bitmap which is not mod32 across, the file may be up to
+7 bits too short! They round down instead of up, and we don't handle
+this bug gracefully.
