	  an image sequence.

2001-09-10  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

	  digest algorithm.

2001-09-07  Cristy  <cristy@mystic.es.dupont.com>
	* Added -background to convert program usage text.
	* DispatchImage() now properly handles grayscale images.

	  MPEG images (contributed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
	  (LLNL)).

Image manipulation software that works like magic.
