Convert PBM to TXT UILTABLE

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.

The TXT file extension, associated with the X-Motif UIL Table, stands for Text. This format is used to define user interface elements like menus and buttons within the X Window System. Initially developed by The Open Group, the plain text format allows developers to outline the UI components and their configurations. These files are then compiled into a format that can be utilized by the Motif Resource Management functions, streamlining the creation and management of graphical interfaces.
