PM (Picture Manipulation --- not to be confused with pbm) has been developped
at the Grasp Lab of the University of Pennsylvania around 1990 and is no
longer maintained. But you can still download the whole PM package from
ftp.cis.upenn.edu /pub/grasp/pm2/pm.tar.Z
You can get library functions pm_read() and pm_write() as well as basic conversion
programs. I've been working with pm-images for a while and have some more 
conversion programs (filters) to other image files.

A pm reader is also included in the distribution of 'xv' (or more precisely in xvpm.c).
If you don't have 'xv' already you can download it also from ftp.cis.upenn.edu
in /pub/xv.

Good luck,

 - Dieter
