I know my post seems "negative", but I certainly would never discourage anybody from producing quality, unique programs.
All I was really asking is what will make this program unique, so that it will stand out from the crowd and become popular?
If you're creating something useful, dynamic and original then go for it.
Sorry if I sounded bad before....
And the comment about "kewl" is just a personal thing - you're free to name it what you want - it's your program.
Cheers, and apologies again

pnmquant
pnmquant(1) General Commands Manual pnmquant(1)
NAME
pnmquant - quantize the colors in a Netpbm image to a smaller set
SYNOPSIS
pnmquant [-center|-meancolor|-meanpixel] [-floyd|-fs] [-nofloyd|-nofs] [-spreadbrightness|-spreadluminosity] ncolors [pnmfile]
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may
use either white space or equals signs between an option name and its value.
DESCRIPTION
Reads a PNM image as input. Chooses ncolors colors to best represent the image, maps the existing colors to the new ones, and writes a PNM
image as output.
This program is simply a combination of pnmcolormap and pnmremap, where the colors of the input are remapped using a color map which is
generated from the colors in that same input. The options have the same meaning as in those programs. See their documentation to under-
stand pnmquant.
It is much faster to call pnmcolormap and pnmremap directly than to run pnmquant. pnmquant is just a convenience.
ppmquant is an older program which does the same thing as pnmquant, but on only PPM images. It is, however, faster than either pnmquant or
ppmcolormap/pnmremap.
