description
Reads a
Microsoft Windows or OS/2 BMP file as input. Produces a PBM,
PGM, or PNM image as output. If the input is colormapped and
contains only black and white, the output is PBM. If the
input is colormapped and contains only black white and gray,
the output is PGM. Otherwise, the output is PPM.
This program
cannot convert BMP files with compressed (run length
encoded) image data. It recognizes the compression and
issues an error message.
This program
cannot convert BMP files with 16 bits per pixel (only
because the author did not have a complete specification for
them). It recognizes the format and issues an error
message.
