I'm trying to convert some files of varying types to the Macintosh
PICT format.  The ppmtopict utility seems to be the right tool:

: Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a Macintosh PICT file
: as output.

However,
 
: The generated file is only the data fork of a picture.  You will
: need a program such as mcvert to generate a Macbinary or a BinHex
: file that contains the necessary information to identify the file
: as a PICT file to MacOS.

Is the mcvert conversion program public domain?  
If so, where is it available?  Thanks for any help.
