-Netpbm is a toolkit for conversion of images between a variety of
-different formats, as well as to allow a few basic image operations.
-Netpbm is based on the widely spread Pbmplus package (release: 10 Dec
-91). On top of that, a lot of improvements and additions have been
-made. After the latest release of Pbmplus, a lot of additional filters
-have been circulating on the net. The aim of Netpbm was, to collect
-these and to turn them into a package. This work has been performed by
-a group of programmers all over the world.
+Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including
+conversion of images between a variety of different formats. There
+are over 300 separate tools in the package including converters for
+about 100 graphics formats.
