PNM Raw at a glance

PNM Raw

PNM survived because engineers kept needing a no-drama raster family for scripts, fixtures, codecs, and image-processing experiments where the format should not be the hard part.

RealMedia

RM comes from the same proprietary streaming-media period as RealAudio and RealVideo, when end-to-end delivery systems often revolved around a branded container, player, and server stack.
