NAME
     bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows  Dev-
     ice Independent Bitmap image file

SYNOPSIS
     bmp2tiff  [  options  ]  input.bmp  [   input2.bmp   ...   ]
     output.tiff

DESCRIPTION
     bmp2tiff converts a  Microsoft  Windows  Device  Independent
     Bitmap  image  file  to TIFF. If several input BMP files are
     being specified the  multipage  TIFF  output  file  will  be
     created.  By  default,  the  TIFF image is created with data
     samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed with  the
     PackBits  algorithm (Compression=32773), and with each strip
     no more than 8 kilobytes.  These characteristics  can  over-
     ridden,  or  explicitly specified with the options described
     below.

OPTIONS
     -c   Specify a compression scheme to use when writing  image
          data:   -c none for no compression, -c packbits for the
          PackBits compression algorithm (the default),  -c  jpeg
          for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for
          the Deflate  compression  algorithm,  and  -c  lzw  for
          Lempel-Ziv & Welch.

     -r number
          Write data with a specified number of rows  per  strip;
          by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that
          each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.
