By coincidence, I've just convinced someone else on my project that TIFF
is overkill and moving to PGM would make things easier for us, so now
I'm also looking for a port of the library, albeit for NT and VisC++.

I stumbled on a very recent distribution (9-1, May 2000) and just tried
'make'; the source compiled OK but the linker refused to have anything
to do with 'libpbm.so.9.1' as an output file (GCC 2.7.2.1 on DOS 6).
This was 1 a.m. so I didn't chase it further...

Anyway, it turns out from the docs that the Net-PBM project has been
revived, and the latest releases are available from:

http://download.sourceforge.net/netpbm/

Hope this helps

Henry
