+<P>Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable.  You may use double
+hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options.  You may use white
+space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value.
+
+<H2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
+
+<p><b>pamchannel</b> reads a PAM or PNM image as input and produces a
+PAM image as output, consisting of the indicated channels (planes) of
+the input.
+
+<P>The output is the same dimensions as the input, except that the depth
+is the number of <I>channum</I> arguments you supply.  The tuple type
+is a null string unless you specify the <B>-tupletype</B> option.
+
+<p>This program works on multi-image streams, producing a
+corresponding output stream.  But before Netpbm 10.32 (February 2006),
+it ignored every image after the first.
+
+<P><B>pamstack</B> does the opposite of <B>pamchannel</B>:  It takes multiple
+PAM or PNM images as input and stacks their planes (channels) on top of
+one another to yield a single PAM.
+
+<H2 id="options">OPTIONS</H2>
+
+<DL COMPACT>
+
+<DT><B>-infile</B> <I>infile</I>
+<DD>
+This specifies the input file, which defaults to Standard Input.  You
+may specify <B>-</B> to select Standard Input explicitly.
+<P>
+This is a little unconventional for Netpbm programs, which usually 
+have the input file specification as an argument.  For <B>pamchannel</B>,
+the arguments are channel numbers.
+
+<DT><B>-tupletype</B> <I>tupletype</I>
+<DD>
+This specified the tuple type name to be recorded in the output.  You may
+use any string up to 255 characters.  Some programs recognize some names.
+If you omit this option, the default tuple type name is null.
