NAME
        winicontoppm  - convert a Windows .ico file into 1 or more
        portable pixmap files
 
SYNOPSIS
        winicontoppm  [-writeands]  [-allicons|-bestqual]   [-mul­
        tippm] [-verbose] [iconfile] [ppmdestfile]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file, converts it to one or
        more ppms.
 
        A Windows icon contains 1 or  more  images,  at  different
        resolutions  and  color  depths.   Each image has an 'and'
        mask, which contains transparancy data.
 
        By default, the output goes to Standard  Output.   If  you
        specify  ppmdestfile,  output  goes into one or more files
        named as follows.  If it's just one file (i.e. you specify
        the -multippm option or don't specify -allicons), the file
        specification is ppmdestfile.ppm.  If it's multiple files,
        their  file specifications are ppmdestfile_1.ppm, ppmdest­
        file_2.ppm, etc.
 
        When you specify  the  -writeands  option,  the  filenames
        above  are  modified  to  include  the  string  xor  as in
        ppmdestfile_xor.ppm or ppmdestfile_xor_1.ppm.
 
 
OPTIONS
        -writeands
               For  each  icon  written,  also  write  the   'and'
               (transparancy)  mask  as a seperate PBM file.  It's
               name is of the form ppmdestfile_and.pbm or ppmdest­
               file_and_1.pbm.
 
        -allicons
               Extract all images from the .ico file.
 
        -bestqual
               Extract  only the best quality (largest, then high­
               est bpp) image from the .ico file.
 
        -multippm
               Write all ppms to a single file.
