pnmcomp - replaced by pamcomp
This program is part of
Netpbm(1).
pnmcomp was obsoleted by
pamcomp(1), introduced with Netpbm
10.21 (March 2004).
pamcomp is backward compatible with
pnmcomp,
plus adds many additional functions. Among this is the ability to process PAM
images, including those with transparency channels.
pnmcomp remained in the Netpbm package until Netpbm 10.68 (September
2014) because of hopes that it had fewer bugs than
pamcomp because of
its age. But now it would just be clutter.
In Netpbm before 10.21, use the manual for
pamcomp with
pnmcomp.
Features that are in
pamcomp but not
pnmcomp are indicated by
statements that they didn't exist before 10.21.
