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. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
