NAME

xmac − display Apple MacPaint image files under X windows

SYNOPSIS

xmac filename [ -ps ] [ host:display ] [ -geometry ]

DESCRIPTION

xmac displays a MacPaint file in a window, allows resize/move, and has an icon.  xmac will send the Postscript commands to print the image to standard out if you include the command line option, -ps.  xmac accepts two other optional command line arguments.  You may specify a display name in the form host:display (see X11(7).  And you may provide a geometry specification.  If you don’t give a geometry specification, xmac will ask you where you want to put the window when it starts up.  See X11(7) for a full explanation. 

BUGS

There are no known bugs.  There are lots of lacking features.  I would like to add editing capability in the future, along with the ability to clip part of an image to a bitmap format file; as well as replacing the desktop pattern with an image.  Also there should be a way to kill the process, i.e. a keypress or a mouse click in a box.  Also a title bar would be nice. 

ENVIRONMENT

XMAC - the default directory for searching for image files, (after ".").
