thanks
Thanks for your bugreport.
I think you are a bit confused here. For a start, I recommend you to read
less Wikipedia. ;)

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
===============
This is wrong (or at least misleading); the OCRad documentation is
right.
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].
This is right, but please note that title of this article is "Netpbm
format", not "Portable pixmap".
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.
PNM is a collective name for 3 formats:
- portable bitmaps (PBM),
- portable greymaps (PGM),
- portable pixmaps (PPM).
Each of these formats comes with two versions ("plain" or "raw").
OCRad supports all of them.
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.
Well, both. :) (But I guess you meant s/pixmap/anymap/.)
