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 for­
       mat.
