+.SH NAME
+ras2tiff \- create a
+.SM TIFF
+file from a Sun rasterfile
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ras2tiff
+[
+.I options
+]
+.I input.ras
+.I output.tif
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I ras2tiff
+converts a file in the Sun rasterfile format to
+.SM TIFF.
+By default, the
+.SM TIFF
+image is created with data samples packed (\c
+.IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
+compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
+.IR Compression =5),
+and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
+These characteristics can overriden, or explicitly specified
+with the options described below.
+.PP
+Any colormap information in the rasterfile is carried over to the
+.SM TIFF
+file by including a
+.I Colormap
+tag in the output file.
+If the rasterfile has a colormap, the
+.I PhotometricInterpretation
+tag is set to 3 (palette);
+otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB) if the depth
+is 24 or 1 (min-is-black) if the depth is not 24.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
+.B "\-c none"
+for no compression,
+.B "-c packbits"
+for the PackBits compression algorithm,
+.B "-c jpeg"
+for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
+.B "-c zip
+for the Deflate compression algorithm,
+and
+.B "\-c lzw"
+for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
+.TP
+.B \-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.
+.SH BUGS
+Does not handle all possible rasterfiles.
+In particular, 
+.I ras2tiff
+does not handle run-length encoded images.
