+.SH NAME
+
+ppmtopict - convert a PPM image to a Macintosh PICT file
+
+.UN synopsis
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBppmtopict\fP
+
+[\fIppmfile\fP]
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBppmtopict\fP reads a PPM image as input and produces a
+Macintosh PICT file as output.
+.PP
+The generated file is only the data fork of a picture. You will
+need a program such as \fImcvert\fP to generate a Macbinary or a
+BinHex file that contains the necessary information to identify the
+file as a PICT file to MacOS.
+.PP
+Even though PICT can have 2 and 4 bits per pixel, \fBppmtopict\fP
+always generates an 8 bits per pixel file.
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+There are no command line options defined specifically
+for \fBppmtopict\fP, but it recognizes the options common to all
+programs based on libnetpbm (See
+.UR index.html#commonoptions
+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&.)
+
+.UN limitations
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.PP
+The picture size field is correct only 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.
