<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p><b>listpmfile</b> reads a Lisp Machine bitmap as input and
produces a PGM image as output.
<P>This is the file format written by the tv:write-bit-array-file
function on TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.
<P>Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the Lispm image
file format does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a
monochrome instead and produce PGM. This is unfortunate.

<H2>LIMITATIONS</H2>
The Lispm bitmap file format is a bit quirky; Usually the image in the file
has its width rounded up to the next higher multiple of 32, but not always.
If the width is not a multiple of 32, we don't deal with it properly, but
because of the Lispm microcode, such arrays are probably not image data
anyway.
<P>Also, the Lispm code for saving bitmaps has a bug, in that if you
are writing a bitmap which is not mod32 across, the file may be up to
7 bits too short! They round down instead of up, and we don't handle
this bug gracefully.
