25       -extraskip
26              This option is to get around a  problem  with  some  methods  of
27              transferring  files  from the Mac world to the Unix world.  Most
28              of these methods leave the Mac files alone, but a  few  of  them
29              add the 'finderinfo' data onto the front of the Unix file.  This
30              means an extra 128 bytes to skip over  when  reading  the  file.
31              The  symptom  to  watch for is that the resulting PBM file looks
32              shifted to one side.  If you get this, try -extraskip  128,  and
33              if that still doesn't look right try another value.
