Graphics Binaries & Frameworks
------------------------------

06/28/1997 -- b.bum -- <bbum@codefab.com>

The two archives-- GraphicsBinaries.b.mSIN.tar.gz and GraphicsFrameworks.b.mSIN.tar.gz-- contain a set of frameworks and binaries that represent a [nearly] complete set of modern image processing tools from the network community.  These tools include the full libraries, headers, and command-line tools from the following packages:

	libz v1.04 - inflate/deflate non-patented FSF'd compression algorithm
	libjpeg v6a - Independent JPEG group's reference implementation
	libpng v0_96 - reference implementation of PNG standard
	libtiff 3.04b036 - Sam Leffler's reference TIFF implementation
	SDSC imtool v3.00 - San Diego SuperComputing center's image tools

Also included is a tiff2png utility and a couple of EPS scripts that turn arrow and text bar into color cursors [under 3.3 apps only;  OS 4.x has a different cursor handler in the windowserver].

All binaries were produced from source trees obtained from the various definitive releases of the aforementioned packages.  Some modifications were required to achieve working binaries that support all three OpenStep/Mach architectures.  

All binaries/frameworks are compiled for m68k, i386, and sparc architectures.  

TO INSTALL
----------

Copy all of the .frameworks to /LocalLibrary/Frameworks -- due to a limitation in the mach platform's handling of frameworks, the frameworks must be installed in /LocalLibrary/Frameworks/.

Copy all of the binaries to your favorite binary directory.
