NAME
plaintov - convert image from Vista plain file format to Vista data
file
SYNOPSIS
plaintov [-option ...] [infile] [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
plaintov reads an image in Vista plain file format and writes is as a
Vista data file.
Plain file format, defined in Vplain(5Vi), allows a small image to be
created entirely using a text editor because it represents pixel values
in ASCII. In a Vista data file, those pixel values are encoded in
binary.

-help Prints a message describing options.
- -in infile Specifies the input file, which is in Vista plain file
- format.
- -out outfile Specifies the output file, which will be a Vista data
- file.
- -name name Specifies the name to be given the converted image.
- Default: ``image''.
- Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams.
