- Remarks
-
- This is the first release of the g3g4 utilities. Work in progress
- to enhance the capabilities of the toolkit includes table encoding
- of group 3 and group 4 images, and some optimization.
-
- A tiff toolkit is also being prepared. Although the routines in this
- collection can be used with g3 and g4 images in tiff files, they
- have no provision for handling the structure of the files themselves.
- The future tiff toolkit will add those features.
-
- Note that the calling sequence of the user-provided support routines
- differs slightly from that indicated in the C Users Journal article.
- The versions here make indirect calls using pointers, so that at
- one time one input routine might be used, and at other times another.
- This allows considerably more flexible usage, since the source of
- the file can be changed without relinking. The names have been
- changed a little to prevent inadvertent use of the old method.
