+Pbmtoppa was integrated into the Netpbm package in May 2000 by Bryan
+Henderson.  He took it from Tim Norton's pbm2ppa-0.8.6 package dated
+October 1998.
+
+Tim licenses the subject package to the public as described in the
+LICENSE file.
+
+The difference between what's in Netpbm and what was distributed by 
+Tim is:
+
+  - Tim called it 'pbm2ppa' Netpbm calls it 'pbmtoppa', to fit Netpbm
+    naming conventions.
+
+  - Tim's package included the program Pbmtpg, but the Netpbm directory
+    doesn't include that.  The program was integrated separately into
+    Netpbm as Pbmpage.
+
+  - Tim's package generated 3 different versions of Pbmtoppa, one for
+    each of the 720, 820 or 1000 printer models.  (They only differed
+    in their default parameters).  The netpbm version has only one
+    Pbmtoppa, and the (existing) -v option selects defaults for the 
+    specified printer model.
+
+  - Tim didn't have a man page.  His package had several other
+    documentation files, though, which are not in the Netpbm package
+    because the information is either specific to Tim's packaging or
+    the information in in the Netpbm man page.
+
+  - Jozsef Marak's extension to handle draft (300 dpi) printing is 
+    included.
