12 Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use dou‐
13 ble hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use
14 white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from
15 its value.

22 pbmtolps reads a PBM image as input and outputs PostScript. The output
23 Postscript uses lines instead of the image operator to generate a
24 (device dependent) picture which will be imaged much faster.
25
26 pnmtops is a more general program for converting from the Netpbm for‐
27 mats to Postscript, though it cannot produce the particular arcane sub‐
28 format that pbmtolps does.

30 One pixel of the input image corresponds to one printed pixel ('dot').
31 For this to work, you must use a -dpi option to tell pmtolps the reso‐
32 lution of the target printer, in dots per inch.

35 The Postscript program pbmtolps generates draws paths of less than 1000
36 segments so as not to overrun limits on the Apple Laserwriter and pos‐
37 sibly other printers.
