PBMTORAST

NAME

      pbmtorast - convert a portable bitmap into a Sun rasterfile

SYNOPSIS

      pbmtorast [-s] [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

      Reads a portable bitmap as input.  Produces a Sun rasterfile as
      output.  NOTE: since it uses Sun-specific include files and libraries,
      pbmtorast will compile only on Suns.
      The -s flag forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form; otherwise, it
      defaults to RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less
      standard.
      The ppmtorast filter provides the same functionality as pbmtorast, in
      addition to handling color images; but pbmtorast is worth keeping,
      since it is significantly faster.
