NAME
      painttorle - Convert MacPaint images to RLE
      format.

 SYNOPSIS
      painttorle [ -c [ red ] [ green ] [ blue ] [ alpha ] ] [ -r ] [ -o
      outfile.rle ] [ infile.paint ]

 DESCRIPTION
      Painttorle converts a file from MacPaint
      format into RLE format.  Because MacPaint and
      RLE disagree on which end is up, the output
      should be sent through rleflip to preserve
      orientation.

 OPTIONS
      -c[red] [green] [blue] [alpha]
           Allows the color values to be specified
           (the default is 255).

      -r   Invert the color of the MacPaint pixels
           (reverse video).

      infile.paint
           The input paint data will be read from
           this file, otherwise, input will be
           taken from stdin.

      -o outfile.rle
           If specified, output will be written to
           this file, otherwise it will go to
           stdout.
