NAME

       pnmcomp - replaced by pamcomp

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pnmcomp  was  obsoleted by pamcomp(1), introduced with Netpbm 10.21 (March 2004).  pamcomp
       is backward compatible with pnmcomp, plus adds many additional functions.  Among  this  is
       the ability to process PAM images, including those with transparency channels.

       pnmcomp  remained  in  the  Netpbm  package until Netpbm 10.68 (September 2014) because of
       hopes that it had fewer bugs than pamcomp because of its age.  But now it  would  just  be
       clutter.

       In  Netpbm  before  10.21,  use the manual for pamcomp with pnmcomp.  Features that are in
       pamcomp but not pnmcomp are indicated by statements that they didn't exist before 10.21.
