=46rom the netpbm website:
"The PPM format is a lowest common denominator color image file format.
It should be noted that this format is egregiously inefficient. It is highl=

redundant, while containing a lot of information that the human eye can't=20
even discern. Furthermore, the format allows very little information about=
=20
the image besides basic color, which means you may have to couple a file in=
=20
this format with other independent information to get any decent use out of=
=20
it."
They go on:
"However, it is very easy to write and analyze programs to process this=20
format, and that is the point."
So just out of curiosity, what is this format used for?
