NAME
       ppmtobmp - convert a portable pixmap into a BMP file

SYNOPSIS
       ppmtobmp [-windows] [-os2] [-bpp=bits_per_pixel] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a Microsoft Windows or OS/2
       BMP file as output.

OPTIONS
       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix and  you
       can use a double dash in place of the single dash, GNU-style.

       -windows
	      Tells  the  program  to  produce	a  Microsoft Windows BMP file.
	      (This is the default.)

       -os2   Tells the program to produce an OS/2 BMP file.   (Before	August
	      2000, this was the default).

       -bpp   This determines how many bits per pixel you want the BMP file to
	      contain.	Only 1, 4, 8, and 24 are possible.  By	default,  ppm‐
	      tobmp  chooses  the  smallest number with which it can represent
	      all the colors in the input image.  If you specify a number  too
	      small  to	 represent all the colors in the input image, ppmtobmp
	      tells you and terminates.	 You can use ppmquant or ppmdither  to
	      reduce the number of colors in the image.

NOTES
       To  get	a  faithful reproduction of the input image, the maxval of the
       input image must be 255.	 If it is something else, ppmtobmp the	colors
       in the BMP file may be slightly different from the colors in the input.

       Windows icons are not BMP files.	 Use ppmtowinicon to create those.
