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.
