PBMPLUS is a toolkit for converting various image formats to and from portable formats, and therefore to and from each other.
The idea is, if you want to convert among N image formats, you only need 2*N conversion filters, instead of the N^2 you would need if you wrote each one separately.
Also, if there is a new format or feature you would like to have added to the package, feel free to drop me a line.
