man btmakemetafile

That seems to be the appropriate thing.

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty
when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are
naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded
rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment
by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." - Supreme Court
Justice Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v. U.S. (1928)
