bmptoppm β€” bestie, she's been replaced by bmptopnm 😭


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1), the iconic little toolkit iykyk 🫢

bmptoppm got retired in Netpbm 9.25 (March 2002) and bmptopnm(1) took her spot. not me getting emotional over a deprecated converter πŸ’€

Now here's the tea on bmptopnm: she's backward compatible with bmptoppm β€” like, fully, no cap β€” except for one glowy little upgrade: she also generates PBM and PGM output when that's more appropriate than PPM. so she's not just a replacement, she's an upgrade bestie, main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘

⚠️ heads up: if you were reaching for bmptoppm, you want bmptopnm(1) instead. this one's giving "graduated, moved on, thriving" 🌈
