    <p>
      <b>PPMB_TO_PPMA</b>
      is a C++ program which
      converts a binary Portable Pixel Map (PPM) file
      to an ASCII PPM file.

      Usage:
    </h3>

    <p>
      <dl>
        <dt>
          <b>ppmb_to_ppma</b> <i>file.ppmb</i> <i>file.ppma</i>
        </dt>
        <dd>
          reads the information in the binary PPM file <i>file.ppmb</i>
          and rewrites it to the ASCII PPM file <i>file.ppma</i>.
        </dd>
