+Compface - 48x48x1 image compression and decompression
+Copyright (c) James Ashton 1990.

+[I have put MIT in the License field of the LSM descriptions since this
+seems to capture the original author's intent most closely, bearing in
+mind that he wrote this before the various free software licenses were
+categorised. - Ken]
+
+The programme (two programmes really - but they're just links to each
+other) converts 48x48x1 images to and from a compressed format.  The
+uncompressed images are expected to contain 48x48/4 (576) hex digits.
+All other characters and any `0's followed by `X' or `x' are ignored.
+Usually the files are 48 lines of "0x%04X,0x%04X,0x%04X,".  The
+compressed images contain some number of printable characters.  Non
+printable characters, including ` ' are ignored.  The purpose of the
+programme is to allow the inclusion of face images within mail headers
+using the field name `X-face: '.
+
+The programmes make use of a library which can be used to allow the
+compression and decompression algorithms to be used in other
+programmes such as mail despatchers and mail notification daemons.
+
+A small amount of editing in the Makefile may be required to get it
+going - mainly setting EXECUTABLE to what you want and putting the
+manual entry in the right place.

+I have merged the -X patch by Piete Brooks <Piete.Brooks@cl.cam.ac.uk>
+into the sources and amended the man page. I have given this the
+version number 1.1 so that it can be submitted to freshmeat.net and
+metalabs.unc.edu.
