To install pbm2ppm,
	extract all the files from pbm2ppm-0.2.0.tar.gz.
	change directory to pbm2ppm-0.2.0
	run instpkg

This package contains 3 conversion programs:

        pbm2ppm  - convert PBM to PPM
        ppm2pbm  - convert PPM to PBM
        ppmcolor - convert 2 color PPM to 2 other colors

The input in each program is from standard input.
The output from each program is written to standard output.

ppm2pbm and ppmcolor read from the rgb.txt file to
obtain the correct color.  These programs look for
rgb.txt in /usr/X11/lib/X11.  If rgb.txt is in another
location, you may use the "-m filename" parameter to
point to the correct file.

In Ubuntu, the rgb.txt file is located in /usr/share/X11.
In Debian, the rgb.txt file is located in /usr/X11/lib/X11.
The Wikipedia article on "X11 color names" shows the
location for rgb.txt at <X11 root>/X11/lib/X11.

You may test the programs by running:

        tst.sh

The tst.sh should result in having no error messages.
In other words, a successful test of tst.sh shows no
output at all.  If the test is not successful, the diff
commands in the test will show difference messages.

To de-install pbm2ppm, run
	deinst

The NETPBM package contains more general purpose
conversion programs.  You may wish to use the NETPBM
programs, if you want to convert images with more than
two colors.
