Wow.  I just joined this list, and the first two posts I see are
in reference to the port that I did. 

I've finally freed up some hard drive space on my machine, and
with classes coming to and end, have considered some projects for
the summer.  

I'm considering porting the NetPBM stuff to both DOS and OS/2
(which I'm running now).  I pulled the source off the other day
and glanced through it, and saw the DOS based stuff.  Are there
already DOS binaries for the netpbm distribution, or not?  This reply
would seem to indicate not.
