PPMB_TO_PPMA
PPMB => PPMA
(binary to ASCII) conversion

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

Usage:

ppmb_to_ppma file.ppmb file.ppma

reads the information in the binary PPM file file.ppmb and rewrites it to the ASCII PPM file file.ppma.
