NAME
       read-palmpix  -	Convert	 all pictures in the files given or found via
       connecting to a Palm handheld if no files are given. The default	 out-
       put type is Portable Pixmap (.ppm).



SYNOPSIS
       read-palmpix -p  -n  -t 



DESCRIPTION
       read-palmpix  allows a Kodak PalmPix camera user to extract the images
       from their Palm handheld and convert them to Portable Network  Graphic
       (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files on their system.



OPTIONS
       -p, --port 
	      Use  device  file  to communicate with the Palm handheld.
	      If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environ-
	      ment   variable.	 If   both   are   not	 found	or  supplied,
	      install-expenses will fall back to /dev/pilot.



       -h, --help
	      Display the help synopsis for read-palmpix.



       -v, --version
	      Display version of read-palmpix.



       -l, --list
	      List picture information found on the Palm handheld instead  of
	      converting the entries found to image files.



       -n, --name 
	      Convert  only pixname to an image file, and output to a .ppm or
	      .png.



       -t, --type 
	      Specify the output picture type. Can be either "png" or  "ppm".



USAGE
       The  program  will  connect  to the target Palm handheld, and read the
       images found in the Kodak PalmPix image database (ArchImage.pdb),  and
       allow  the  user	 to  view the list of images and image details, or to
       select one or all of  them,  and	 convert  them	to  Portable  Network
       Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files to be viewed or printed
       at the desktop. If no options are specified, all of the images on  the
       device will be converted to ppm files by default.



BUGS
       KNOWN BUGS

	      read-palmpix's  colour correction is not yet as good as Kodak's
	      own, but Kodak has deprecated the PalmPix device, so it is  not
	      likely  that there will be any updates to their software in the
	      future, so this may be as good as it gets.
