- Hi Folks,
-
- The ever popular AVS modules based on the San Diego Supercomputing
- Center's image conversion tools, and converted into AVS by Terry Myerson,
- are now available on the HP platform! With SDSC's latest release of
- the tools, they have released an HP port.
-
- Two of the approximately 60 AVS modules based on the SDSC tools are
- READ_ANY_IMAGE and WRITE_ANY_IMAGE. These are in the top 3 most
- frequently downloaded modules on the ftp site. Because they are so
- popular, executable versions as well as source code are provided for
- your use.
-
- I'll include a copy of their documentation below. Enjoy!
