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. + + James Ashton. + jaa@cs.su.oz.au + +1999-06-18 + +I have merged the -X patch by Piete Brooks +into the sources and amended the man page.
