1.  Control over file format output variants is available in the SDSC Image Tools
    using "-outXXX" arguments to the various tools, where "XXX" is one of a
    variety of format controls.  Output file format compression schemes can be
    selected, output image depths can be controlled, and so on.  These options
    are all documented in the manual page for "imconv", included in the release.

    All such options are available on all Image Tools.  All Image Tools are
    command-line tools suitable for invokation via shell scripts.

2.  PBMplus libraries are limited to file I/O for the PBM formats.  They do not
    include other file format intelligence, nor most of the image manipulation
    functionality.  The SDSC Image Tools library, however, includes all file
    format knowledge and all image manipulation knowledge.
