Hi Folks,
The ever popular AVS modules based on the San Diego Supercomputing
Center's image conversion tools, and converted into AVS by Terry Myerson,
are now available on the HP platform! With SDSC's latest release of
the tools, they have released an HP port.
Two of the approximately 60 AVS modules based on the SDSC tools are
READ_ANY_IMAGE and WRITE_ANY_IMAGE. These are in the top 3 most
frequently downloaded modules on the ftp site. Because they are so
popular, executable versions as well as source code are provided for
your use.
I'll include a copy of their documentation below. Enjoy!
