.SH NAME
iptotext \- convert an interpress file into intertext
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B iptotext
[
.B \-d
]
[
.B \-o
.I outputfile
] [ file ... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Iptotext
will convert an interpress file into a readable Ascii form.  This textual
form, called
.IR intertext ,
consists of, basically, numbers and operator names.  The output can be
edited by any conventional text editor and converted back to an interpress
file with
.IR texttoip (1).
.PP
The
.B \-d
option will cause pixel arrays to be formatted and included in the output.
The default is to not dump pixel array data because of its voluminous nature.
.PP
If
.B \-o
is specified, the text is written to the file
.IR outputfile .
If no output file name is given, the output appears on standard out.
Note that this is a little different than
.IR texttoip (1).
