I never did that, but I know that you can convert a "P6" .ppm (24 bpp,
binary) to a "P3" .ppm (24 bpp, ASCII) with imagemagick's "convert"
command:

convert -compress none old.ppm new.ppm

I assume that the "-compress none" option can also be used with other
imagemagick commands that produce PPM files.
