Hello, can you help me, please?
I need to convert some .bmp files to ppm format, in ASCII. For example, for a file file.bmp, which would be the command to use in nconvert?
nconvert -ppm file.bmp
this changes it to ppm, but binary mode: P6....how to convert it to ppm P3?
thanks.

I'm sorry, it still doesn't work :\
now for some reason
nconvert -ppm file.bmp
says bad argument -'ppm'.
The trick, I think, would be to change the .bmp first into .ppm, and then use -ascii to convert this ppm to pp3...right?
Which commands should I use?
thanks.

I found the solution!
nconvert -out ppm file.bmp
nconvert -ascii file.ppm
that does it.
thanks for the help.
