# pnmcut(1)

replaced by pamcut

## NAME

pnmcut - replaced by pamcut

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**pnmcut** was obsoleted by [**pamcut**(1)](/pamcut/1.md) , introduced with Netpbm 9.20 (May 2001).  **pamcut** is backward compatible with **pnmcut**, plus adds many additional functions, including the ability to process PAM images.

**pnmcut** remained in the Netpbm package until Netpbm 10.46 (March 2009) because of hopes that it had fewer bugs than **pamcut** because of its age.  But now it would just be clutter.

In Netpbm before 9.20, use the manual for **pamcut** with **pnmcut**.  Features that are in **pamcut** but not **pnmcut** are indicated by statements that they didn't exist before 9.20.
