[syslinux] ppmtolss16 not working

[Anthony Bathgate]

Commandline (under Debian):
./ppmtolss16 #FFFFFF=7 #000000=1 < missile2.ppm > splash.rle

Permissions do allow execution.

Script begins to execute, but seems to be reading in from the console, 
rather than from the file. I can enter all the whitespace I want, but 
after entering anything else, it complains about stdin not being a 
standard ppm file. So, the problem is in my command line...
