+st4topgm - convert an SBIG ST-4 camera file to PGM

+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBst4topgm\fP reads an image file in the native format used
+by the Santa Barbara Instrument Group (SBIG) ST-4 astronomical CCD cameras,
+and produces a PGM image as output. This format is not to be confused with
+the format most other SBIG cameras use, for which you can use
+\fBsbigtopgm\fP.
+.PP
+Additional information on SBIG cameras and documentation of the file format
+is available at the Web
+site,

+.UN history
+.SH HISTORY
+.PP
+Bryan Henderson wrote \fBst4topgm\fP for Sourceforge Netpbm in
+January 2015. However, there has been another program by the same name for
+the same purpose since December 2003, in the Debian version of Netpbm.
+It was written by Justin Pryzby <justinpryzby@users.sf.net>.
+.PP
+Bryan discovered the Debian version when Prophet of the Way did a
+comparison of the two Netpbms in January 2015. It was the only program that
+the Debian version had that the Netpbm version did not (not counting one that
+really didn't belong in any Netpbm), so Bryan decided to add it. Because it
+was a small program, Bryan decided to write a replacement in the Netpbm coding
+style rather than just copy Pryzby's code, but Bryan endeavoured to keep the
+same function.
