NAME
       ilbmtoppm - convert an ILBM file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
       ilbmtoppm  [-verbose]  [-ignore<chunkID>]  [-isham|-isehb]
       [-adjustcolors] [ILBMfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads an IFF ILBM file  as  input.   Produces  a  portable
       pixmap as output.  Supported ILBM types are:

       Normal ILBMs with 1-16 planes.

       Amiga Extra_Halfbrite (EHB)

       Amiga HAM with 3-16 planes.

       24 bit.

       Multiplatte (normal or HAM) pictures.

       Color map (BMHD + CMAP chunk only, nPlanes = 0).

       Unofficial direct color.
              1-16 planes for each color component.

       Chunks used:
              BMHD, CMAP, CAMG (only HAM & EHB flags used), PCHG,
              BODY unofficial DCOL chunk to identify direct color
              ILBM

       Chunks ignored:
              GRAB,  DEST,  SPRT,  CRNG,  CCRT, CLUT, DPPV, DRNG,
              EPSF

       Other chunks (ignored but displayed in verbose mode):
              NAME, AUTH, (c), ANNO, DPI

       Unknown chunks are skipped.

OPTIONS
       -verbose
              Give some information about the ILBM file.

       -ignore <<chunkID>>
              Skip a chunk.  <chunkID> is the 4-letter IFF  chunk
              identifier of the chunk to be skipped.

       -isham | -isehb
              Treat  the  input  file as a HAM or Extra_Halfbrite
              picture, even if these flags or not set in the CAMG
              chunk (or if there is no CAMG chunk).

       -adjustcolors
              If all colors in the CMAP have a value of less then
              16, ilbmtoppm assumes a 4-bit colormap and gives  a
              warning.   With  this option the colormap is scaled
              to 8 bits.

BUGS
       The multipalette PCHG BigLineChanges  and  Huffman  decom-
       pression code is untested.
