DESCRIPTION

14       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
15
16       macptopbmreads  a  MacPaint  file  as input and produces a PBM image as
17       output.

OPTIONS

21       In addition to the options common to all programs  based  on  libnetpbm
22       (most notably -quiet, see
23        Common  Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), macptopbm recognizes the
24       following command line option:
25
26       You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.

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