HISTORY
       pbmtobrush was new in Netpbm 11.15 (June 2026).  Scott Pakin wrote it
       just to have something to exercise brushtopbm, which had been in Netpbm
       since the very beginning.

       By this time, the Xerox doodle brush file format was already obsolete;
       Scott could not find any examples of it in web search.  Scott reverse-
       engineered the format from brushtopbm.
