Well, it was interesting to read that help file, but I didn't see anything
in it about handling .pnm and .pbm files.  Did I miss it somehow?  If not,
then your answer to the question "Does zgv view these formats?" should be
"no" instead of "yes."  That is, unless you have some further information
confirming zgv does handle them that you did not include in your email.
If you do have such information, maybe you can include it in your next
installment?
