Try it yourself. :)
ironically, I don't have imagemagick installed on any of my boxes, but have netpbm on all. (but then I can use any of the numerous ppmto* and pnmto* and pamto* to convert to whatever I need.) that said, however, I don't really get why one would insist on having pbm as intermediate format, apart from "because you can". for me, pbm is a medium which allows to apply all the tools available in the netpbm suite on a bulk of images, and there are quite some of them. cheers --s
