+.SH NAME
+ppmtoppm - copy PPM image
+
+.UN synopsis
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBppmtoppm\fP
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBppmtoppm\fP simply copies a PPM image from Standard Input to
+Standard Output. This may seem an unnecessary duplication of
+\fBcat\fP, but remember that a PPM program can read a PBM or PGM
+image, and the right kind of PAM, as if it were PPM. So
+\fBppmtoppm\fP can read either a PBM, PGM, or PPM image and produce a
+PPM image as output.
+.PP
+Even that is of limited usefulness because of the fact that almost
+any program to which you would feed the resulting PPM image could also
+just take the original image directly. However, sometimes you really
+need a true PPM image.
+.PP
+When you know you have a PGM image and want a PPM image,
+\fBpgmtoppm\fP is a more general way to do that conversion.
+When you know you have a PBM image, use that and \fBpbmtopgm\fP.
