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.
