Obsolete Names

There used to be programs by the following names. Each has been either renamed to a more illustrative name, or superseded by a more general function. In most cases, Netpbm is installed with symbolic links that allow old programs and procedures to use these names but run the replacement programs. In some cases, programs by these names still exist but are just simple backward compatibility wrappers around the replacement program.
