Yes, that's better.  I'm a bit touchy about "M$ things", as M$ has a
really weird idea about "open standards", and (worse) manages pretty well
to convince everybody that they did invent things like multitasking,
window GUIs, long file names, ...

PGM is really kind of a unix thingie - it's "portable gray map".  The
conversion tools should work under DOS just fine.

G3 is just the world standard fax format that every single (analog) fax
machine uses... :-)
