ImgLib is a 32-bit DLL for developers who would like to support reading,
converting, and manipulating of all popular graphics image formats like
BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PCX, Photo CD, and others as needed by today's multimedia
applications.  Windows 3.1 Windows 95 and Windows NT are all supported
as target platforms.  16-bit development is supported via thunking.
The developer of 16-bit code does not need to write any additional
thunking code.

Version 1.2 adds various bitmap manipulation functions and improved sample
program.  Unfortunately, as of this version ImgLib will not support
file formats that employ the LZW compression algorithm.

The most current version of ImgLib is available at:
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/si/simsoft/ImgLib/ImgLib12.zip
 or
ftp://ftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/pc/win3/programr/imglib12.zip

ImgLib is being offered as royalty-free shareware to provide a competitive
alternative to many expensive commercial packages.  ImgLib's attractive
pricing is also possible because a lot of its code has been adopted from
sources freely available on the Internet.  A fully functional image
viewing program and its source are supplied with ImgLib.

Besides the ability to read the most popular raster image formats ImgLib
offers added functionality to modify the bitmaps in memory to aid in
displaying them on all existing Windows-capable displays with best
possible results and without sacrificing the image quality.  The following
is a list of image formats read by ImgLib:

Windows and OS/2 BMP, JPEG, PC Paintbrush (PCX), TIFF, Targa,
Photo CD, MacPaint, FBM, Sun Raster, CMU WM Raster,
Portable Bit Map (PBM, PGM, PPM), Faces Project, Utah RLE, X Window Dump,
McIDAS areafile, G3 FAX, GEM Bit, X Pixmap, and X Bitmap.
