+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+This program is almost entirely obsolete since Netpbm 10.23 (July
+2004). Use
+.BR "\fBpamditherbw\fP" (1)\c
+\& to do
+what this program used to do.
+.PP
+\fBpgmtopbm\fP never was the simple converter it appeared to be.
+It was a dithering program. Unfortunately, it didn't do the dithering
+properly because it treated the PGM input samples as if they were
+directly proportional to light intensity, but they are actually
+gamma-adjusted.
+.PP
+\fBpamditherbw\fP is backward compatible with \fBpgmtopbm\fP
+except that it
+
+.IP \(bu
+does the correct gamma adjustments.
+.IP \(bu
+produces PAM output instead of PBM. (Modern Netpbm programs that
+accept PBM input also accept PAM input, but if you need actual PBM,
+you can use \fBpamtopnm\fP with \fBpamditherbw\fP).
+
+So use the manual for \fBpamditherbw\fP for \fBpgmtopbm\fP, except
+ignore anything that says it was added after Netpbm Release 10.23
+and ignore any options that are not shown in the synopsis above.
+.PP
+Although \fBpgmtopbm\fP is mostly obsolete, the simple threshold
+method (specified by \fB-threshold\fP) is an exception. Unlike the
+other conversion methods, gamma-adjustment is not an issue with
+simple thresholding and \fBpgmtopbm\fP can produce PBM output
+directly. Note that even in this basic mode of operation
+\fBpgmtopbm\fP may produce output which is slightly different from
+what \fBpamditherbw\fP does because of differences in internal
+calculation.
+.PP
+If you just want to convert a PGM image with maxval 1 to PBM,
+use
+.BR "\fBpamtopnm\fP" (1)\c
+\&.
