<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p><b>pnmscale</b> was obsoleted by <a
href="pamscale.html"><b>pamscale</b></a>, introduced with Netpbm 10.20
(January 2004). <b>pamscale</b> is backward compatible with
<b>pnmscale</b>, plus adds many additional functions, including the
ability to process PAM images, and tends to produce better results.
<p><b>pnmscale</b> remains in the current Netpbm package because it
probably has fewer bugs for now than <b>pamscale</b>, and may have
superior performance characteristics in some cases. Some day,
<b>pnmscale</b> will probably become an alias for <b>pamscale</b>.
<p>You can use the <b>pamscale</b> documentation for <b>pnmscale</b>,
considering the following differences:
<ul>
<li><b>pnmscale</b> options are a subset of <b>pamscale</b>'s, as
documented above.
<li><b>pnmscale</b> always assumes the input is linear, as <b>pamscale</b>
does when you specify its <b>-linear</b> option.
<li><b>pnmscale</b> cannot process PAM images.
</ul>
