NetPbm 9.8 for DJGPP is now available from SimTel mirrors.

Source package:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/npbm98s.zip

This is the same as the official source package, that now come with
DJGPP support, please read the README.DJGPP file. Warning: The Netpbm
distribution uses long filenames, so you can only build the package in a
W9x environment, with LFN support. You need bash,fileutils, sed and
groff to make the binaries.

Convenience package to add JPEG and PNG support to NetPbm:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/npbmlxb.zip

Binaries and manual pages for DJGPP with JPEG and PNG support:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/npbm98b.zip

There are some problems that have to be addressed using the binaries in
pure DOS OS, without long file names, but it works OK using the
"p?mmerge" programs, for example:

      ppmmerge ppmtoacad <testimg.ppm >testimg.cad

instead of the usual

      ppmtoacad <testimg.ppm >testimg.cad

Happy pbming, M.Alvarez
