.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 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.
