Popi - a program for manipulating digital images.

[Rich Burridge]

In the next few days, a program called popi will appear in
comp.sources.misc.  Popi is a program for manipulating digital images.
Popi was originally written by Gerard J. Holzmann - AT&T Bell Labs.  This
version is based on the code in his Prentice Hall book, "Beyond
Photography - the digital darkroom," ISBN 0-13-074410-7, which is
copyright (c) 1988 by Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.

Special thanks go to Gerard for allowing this distribution to take place,
and to Dennis Ritchie for letting us plaster his face all over the net.

Permission is given to distribute these extensions, as long as these
introductory messages are not removed, and no monies are exchanged.

See the README and manual pages for more details.

Device drivers are currently included for:
        Amiga
            Works with Lattice C 5.04, but you'ld better have at
            least 2M of memory, or restrict yourself to small (128by128)
            images.
        Apollo
        Atari terminal
        Kermit terminal
        MGR
        NeWS
            Works with NeWS v1.1 and OpenWindows v1.0.
        PC
            Works with Turbo C, Microsoft C (including Quick C)
            and Mix Software's Power C. There is support for
            the common graphics cards (CGA, EGA, VGA, HGC) and
            additionally, the Turbo C graphics library routines
            can be used for non-standard cards if you have
            the appropriate .BGI file.
        SunView
            Works with SunOS v3.x and SunOS v4.x.
        X11
            Works with X11r2 and X11r3 and Open Windows v1.0.
        XView
            Needs the XView toolkit source distribution or Open Windows v1.0.
        null
            For those with no graphics screen, this enables
            you to just use one of the printer options.

Output is available for:
        PostScript
        Epson printers.

We'd be interested to hear what other machines you get it working on, so
that we can keep this list up to date.

There is a TODO file included which lists current bugs, and the
enhancements that will be added in the future.

HISTORY
This program was first released to aus.sources in July 1989 in
conjunction with a competition held prior to this year's Australian
Unix Systems User's Group Conference and Exhibition. The best
transformation of Dennis Ritchie's face (as judged by Dennis)
was put on T-shirts that were given to each conference delegate.
Bug-fixes, improvements and new drivers were garnered. A number of
vendors had popi running at the exhibition.

If you make any bug fixes changes or improvements please let us know so
that we can add them to the main distribution. More device drivers are
particularily welcome.
