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

SYNOPSIS
       bmp2tiff [ options  ]  input.bmp  [input2.bmp  ...]   out-
       put.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
       overridden,  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 algo-
              rithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.

       -r 
              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.
