Last time I checked it was on three floppies! If I'm reading your posting too literally, then I can't help you. I don't know an archive source.

Yah, the archive is ~900K, according to FILES.Z on xanth... Date Size Pathname 20-Jun-90 963642 amiga/graphics/conv/pbmplus.lzh So now you know where it can be found, too. For completeness, xanth is 128.155.23.64 ab20.larc.nasa.gov -- Dave Schaumann | DANGER: Access holes may tear easily.

As I mentioned to the original poster in email, you can fit MOST of the pbmplus tools (no documentation files) on a single floppy by running them through powerpacker (set to compression to level 4), and then removing those tools you are not likely to need (and probably a couple that you ARE likely to need). By doing this, I was able to reduce the size of the tools so they will JUST fit on a single diskette.

Get a lharc for unix, expand pbmplus.lzh in your /tmp (if your quota would exceed) and make two or three smaller parts: ppm.lzh, pbmdoc.lzh, pnm.lzh pbm.lzh were the ones I created :) problem => (some thinking) => (some work) => problem solved --- Bernd 'The Real Arthur!'
