✨ NAME ✨

pnmscale — the icon that got replaced by pamscale 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bestie, gather round 🫶 this program is part of Netpbm(1).

pnmscale was obsoleted by pamscale(1), which showed up with Netpbm 10.20 (January 2004). and like… pamscale is backward compatible with pnmscale, plus it adds a whole bunch of extra functions, including the ability to process PAM images. it's giving glow-up, fr fr ✨

so why did pnmscale stick around in the Netpbm package until Netpbm 10.46 (March 2009)? bestie, they were hoping it had fewer bugs than pamscale because of its age 😭 but at that point it would just be clutter. periodt.

heads up! in Netpbm before 10.20, use the manual for pamscale with pnmscale. features that are in pamscale but not pnmscale are indicated by statements that they didn't exist before 10.20 👑
