According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocrad

        Ocrad is an optical character recognition program, developed
        as part of the GNU Project. Based on a feature extraction
        method, it reads images in portable pixmap
                                   ===============

And according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_pixmap there
are 3 format (PPM, PBM and PNM):

        The phrase Netpbm format commonly refers to any or all of the
        members of a set of closely related graphics formats used and
        defined by the Netpbm project. The portable pixmap format
        (PPM), the portable graymap format (PGM) and the portable
        bitmap format (PBM) are image file formats originally designed
        to be easily exchanged between platforms. They are also
        sometimes referred to collectively as the portable anymap
        format (PNM)[1].

However the maual page only reads:

    DESCRIPTION
           GNU  Ocrad - Optical Character Recognition program.  Reads pnm 
file(s),
           or standard input, and sends text to standard output.

Please clarify:

        - If the *.pnm format the only accepted for the program?
        - Or does it support the full range of "portable pixmap" pixmaps, in
          which case the formats should be listed in manual page.
