===============================================
ImageConverter is a frontend for netpbm & jpeg.
===============================================

It converts almost all images to anf from NeXT tiffs with 
a simple double-Click and opens them with your default 
image application. 

It also provides SERVICES for most image types, 
converting them for WWW-apps (Omni-Image) or just
if you want to drag-&-drop a foreign image into a rtf file.

NI stands for NeXT & Intel fat binary.

This application is GNU Licenced.

Its main interaction with netpbm/pbmplus goes through the 
anytopnm shellscript.

The sources for this project can not be supplied because the Application
is based on my ReusableObjects library.

This program is HUGE, use the 'striptease' ;) utility on the
ImageConverter.app wrapper to strip the architecture you are
using It will shrink by 50%. 
(use: striptease m68k /path/ImageConverter.app)
You will find striptease inside the app-wrapper.

But be sure you have got a backup before you try it!
(e.g. delete the downloaded files after you are sure it works)

HP/SUN:
=======
You will need to download the ImageConverterFrontend.NIHS.b.tar.gz
and place a version of netpbm into ImageConverter.app/bin
that works for your architecture (yes those 178 programs).
DO NOT replace the anytopnm shellscript!

BUGS:
=====

As far as I know the g3 converter is broken ...
