(Before August +2000, this was the default). + +<DT><B>-bpp</B> + +<DD>This tells how many bits per pixel you want the BMP file to +contain. Only 1, 4, 8, and 24 are possible. By default, +<B>ppmtobmp</B> chooses the smallest number with which it can +represent all the colors in the input image. If you specify a number +too small to represent all the colors in the input image, +<B>ppmtobmp</B> tells you and terminates.
