## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

Reads a portable bitmap file as input. Reads from stdin if input file is omitted. Produces a MicroDesign 2 area file (.MDA) as output.

## OPTIONS

-d
  Halve the height of the output file, to compensate for the aspect ratio used in MicroDesign files.
-i

There's no way to produce files in MicroDesign 3 format. MD3 itself and mdatopbm can read files in either format.
