+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBppmquant\fP is obsolete. All it does now is invoke
+\fBpnmquant\fP or \fBpnmremap\fP. You should use one of those
+programs in any new program, or if you are modifying an old program,
+and your program does not have to work with a version of Netpbm before
+9.21 (January 2001). \fBppmquant\fP exists only for name
+compatibility.
+.PP
+\fBpnmquant\fP is fully backward compatible with \fBppmquant\fP
+\fIwithout\fP the \fB-mapfile\fP option; \fBpnmremap\fP is fully
+backward compatible with \fBppmquant\fP \fIwith\fP the
+\fB-mapfile\fP option.
+.PP
+Except with differences suggested by the syntax synopsis above,
+\fBppmquant\fP's function is the same as \fBpnmquant\fP and
+\fBpnmremap\fP.
+.PP
+Before Netpbm 10.19 (November 2003), \fBppmquant\fP was a completely
+separate program from \fBpnmquant\fP, and was a bona fide PPM program.
+That means if you gave it a PGM or PBM image as input, it would process it
+as if it were PPM and generate a PPM output. Now, since it is really a
+PNM program, it processes PBM and PGM inputs as what they are and produces
+the same kind of output.
+.PP
+Note: The reason \fBppmquant\fP was changed in Netpbm 10.19 is
+that for some time before that, \fBppmquant\fP had a serious bug that
+would have been difficult to fix -- it chose the wrong color set.
+Maintaining two versions of the same code did not make sense.
