+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
+
+<p><b>pcxtoppm</b> reads a PCX file as input and produces a PPM image
+as output.
+
+<p><b>pcxtoppm</b> recognizes the following PCX types:
+
+<UL COMPACT>
+<LI>Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.
+
+<P>&quot;Packed pixel&quot; format (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane) or
+bitplane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes).  The program uses a
+predefined standard palette if the image does not provide one.
+&quot;Does not provide one&quot; means the palette in the PCX header is
+completely black.
+
+<LI>Colormapped files with 256 colors.
+
+<P>8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.
+
+<LI>24bit truecolor files.
+
+<P>24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.
+
+<LI>32bit truecolor files.
+
+<P>24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes.
+
+</UL>

+<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
+
+<DL COMPACT>
+<DT><B>-stdpalette</B>
+
+<DD>This option causes <b>pcxtoppm</b> to use its predefined standard 
+palette even if the PCX image provides its own.  This is meaningful only
+for an image in the 16 color paletted PCX format.
+
+<p>The image may appear to provide its own palette but in fact be created
+by a program too primitive to understand palettes that created a random
+palette by accident.
