  Features: Batch conversion, image preview, command-line configuration,
            contact sheet creation, slide shows.
  Comments: I am impressed with the large number of file formats
            supported, including all of their eccentric variations, and
            several formats I have not seen supported in other packages.
            The DOS file directory navigation and maintenance features are
            easy to use and the command line usage is very convenient,
            especially for batch format conversions of images.

  Name:     GIFLITE
  Purpose:  Lossy GIF file reencoder

  FTP:      ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/systems/ibmpc/garbo.uwasa.fi/gifutil/
  Imports:  GIF
  Exports:  GIF
  Features: Lossy reencoding of GIF files providing a 15%-30% reduction in
            file size. Reencoded files are readable by GIF file viewers and
            conform to GIF87a or GIF89a format specifcation. Three levels
            of compression. Dithered images, and images with fewer than 16
            colors, do not compress well.

            and prints 98 page cross referenced manual.  Supports HGC,
            CGA, EGA, S-EGA, VGA, SVGA, XGA, TIGA and VESA. Registered
            versions print to HP PCL & 100% compatible laser and inkjet
            printers.

  Name:     PICTOPS
  Purpose:  PICture TO PostScript file compressor
  Version:  4.02 (Shareware)
  Author:   Mr. Igor L. Vassiliev <vasiliev_i@mx.ihep.su>

  WWW:      http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/magps402.zip
  Imports:  BMP, GIF, ICO, PCX, PBM, PGM, PPM, RLE, TGA, TIF
  Exports:  Compressed PostScript within Level 2 & 1
  Features: PICTOPS V4.02 is powerful conversion program that converts
            1-,2-,4-,8-,24-, and 32-bit image files to color, gray scale,
            and bi-level PostScript file format. Analogous programs are
            unknown. PICTOPS will compress (PostScript interpreter
            will decompress) image data by CCITTFaxEncode, LZWEncode,
            RunLengthEncode and then by ASCII85Encode or ASCIIHexEncode
            filters. Creation of both ASCII(85) and binary PostScript file.
            PostScript color features support simple 5-operand form
            of the image, 7-operand form colorimage, and image dictionaries.
            CMYK images will be translated to RGB images. PostScript image 
            source data may be provided by string, procedure, or filter.
  Comments: Output from PICTOPS may have much smaller size than standard
            PostScript outs from other programs with simply Level-1.
            In most cases, PKZIP or ARJ cannot compress PostScript out from
            PICTOPS more than 5-20%. If the PostScript device has no
            implementation of level 2, then the program will be run
            as level 1.
