NetPbm 9.16 for DJGPP is now available from SimTel mirrors.

Source package:
http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/npbm916s.zip&name=npbm916s.zip

This is the the official source package patched, because due to changes
in makefiles the support to djgpp was broken. I expect next NetPbm
releases will be ok. 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. You need also libpng,
libjpeg and libtiff to add png, jpeg and tiff support (NetPbm 9.16 has
removed the internal libtiff library). You can get libpng and libjpeg in
the v2tk directory (png1012b.zip and jpeg6bb.zip). Libtiff can be
obtained here: http://www.libtiff.org

Binaries and manual pages for DJGPP with TIFF, JPEG and PNG support:
http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/npbm916b.zip&name=npbm916b.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
