WHAT IS DIPS:
It is an interactive image processing tool.  At the moment, DIPS
will invert, threshold, and convolve an image.  The source is
provided to motivate expansion of the program.  Because it is
written in OjbC, adding new image processing operations shoould be
fairly easy.

WHAT IS HIPS:
Hips is a simple (and buggy) program to display HIPS format images.

ABOUT THIS DISTRIBUTION:
The software is public domain.  Feel free to look at it, change it,
debug it.  Please notify me and the general community of any improvements 
you have done to the code.  I intend this program to be developed by 
the general community so that it grows into a large and useful
image processing tool.

INSTALLATION:
In this distribution you will find three main programs:
  dips.tar.Z
  gui_dips.tar.Z
  hips.tar.Z
each in their respective directories.

DIPS: the command line interface version of DIPS
GUI_DIPS: the graphical user interface version of DIPS
HIPS: a simple program to display HIPS format images

To extract the programs, in each directory, perform the following
sequence of commands:
  uncompress <file>.tar.Z       --> result: <file>.tar
  tar xvf <file>.tar            --> result: several source files

To create the executable, type 'make' once all source files have
been extracted.
