For best results, the input file…
NAME ppmtopict – convert a portable pixmap into a Macintosh PICT file SYNOPSIS ppmtopict [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Macintosh PICT file as output. The generated file is only the data fork of a picture. You will need a program such as mcvert to generate a Macbinary or a BinHex…
NAME ppmtopi1 – convert a portable pixmap into an Atari Degas .pi1 file SYNOPSIS ppmtopi1 [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces an Atari Degas .pi1 file as output.

NAME ppmtomap – extract all colors from a portable pixmap DESCRIPTION This program exists only for backward compatibility. Use pnmcolormap, which replaced it in January 2002. One trivial difference between ppmtomap and pnmcolormap all is that if the input is PBM or PGM, ppmtomap would produce PPM output, whereas pnmcolormap all produces the same kind…
