NAME
        ppmtopcx - convert a portable pixmap into a PCX file
 
SYNOPSIS
        ppmtopcx [-24bit] [-packed] [ppmfile]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Reads  a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a PCX file as
        output.  The type of the PCX file depends on the number of
        colors in the pixmap:
 
        16 colors or less:
               1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes.
 
        256 colors or less:
               8  bits/pixel,  1 plane, colormap at the end of the
               file.
 
        More than 256 colors:
               24bit truecolor file (8 bits/pixel, 3 planes).
 
OPTIONS
        -24bit Produce a 24bit truecolor file, even if the  pixmap
               has 256 colors or less.
 
        -packed
               Use  "packed pixel" format for files with 16 colors
               or less: 1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane.
