NAME
     pcxtoppm - convert a PCX file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
     pcxtoppm [-stdpalette] [pcxfile]

DESCRIPTION
     Reads a PCX file as input.  Produces a  portable  pixmap  as
     output.  Supported PCX types are:

     Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.
          "Packed pixel" format (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel,  1  plane)
          or bitplane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes).  The pro-
          gram checks the colormap and uses an  internal  one  if
          the provided colormap is completely black.

     Colormapped files with 256 colors
          8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.

     24bit truecolor files
          24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.

     32bit truecolor files
          24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes.

OPTIONS
     -stdpalette
          Enforce the use of the internal colormap for files with
          16 colors or less.
