Re: [Pnm2ppa-users] Re: [Pnm2ppa-devel] ANNOUNCE pnm2ppa-1.10pre1

[<f.d...@at...>]

Hi, Klamer
good to  hear from you again!

I think this problem is fixed in the pnm2ppa-1.10pre2
release I just made.

Especially A4 paper could trigger an endless loop when 
sometimes the end of page wasnt recognized in the new  code.
I've fixed this now.    I didnt see it with US letter paper...

Please test  pnm2ppa-1.10pre2.

Thanks!
Duncan
