       This program converts a PPM raster file to a GRASS raster file.

   FFllaaggss::
       --vv     Verbose mode.

       --ff     Create  floating-point maps (range 0.0 - 1.0). Not applicable to
	      composite maps created by the --cc flag.

       --bb     Create 3 separate raster maps of the red/green/blue levels

       --cc     Create a composite color map


   PPaarraammeetteerrss::
       iinnppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name of an existing PPM raster file to be imported.

       oouuttppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name to be assigned to resultant raster map layer(s).


NNOOTTEESS
       R/G/B levels: each output raster map layer is given a linear gray scale
       color  table.  Each output raster map layer is assigned the user-speci-
       fied _o_u_t_p_u_t name with (.r, .g, .b) suffix.


       The user should adjust boundary coordinates stored in the  cell	header
       after import using _r_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t or _r_._r_e_g_i_o_n.


       Composite  color  maps  are  generated  by generating the separate red,
       green and blue maps, then invoking _r_._c_o_m_p_o_s_i_t_e to generate the  compos-
       ite map. Unless the --bb flag was used, the red, green and blue maps will
       then be deleted.


       Greate control may be exercised over the creation  of  composite  color
       maps by invoking _r_._c_o_m_p_o_s_i_t_e manually.
