This is a port of the lcms 1.17 library to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  The little cms library intends to be a small-footprint, speed optimized color
  management engine in open source form written in C.
  Here some features taken from the information provided by the lcms home page
  http://www.littlecms.com:
    Basic features:
      Widely portable.
      Easy to use.
      Small, tight code. 
      Fast, optimized for speed.
      Handles a wide range pixel formats. 
      Implements ICC spec 4.2
      Profile to profile and multiprofile transforms.
      Supports all kind of profiles, including named color
      PostScript CSA and CRD generation

    Advanced features:
      Full multicolor support, including proof direction in more than 4 inks.
      Black preservation on CMYK->CMYK transforms.
      Gamut checking.
      Softproofing.
      Precalculated device link transforms with prelinearization step.
      Virtual Gray, RGB profiles.
      CIECAM02 appearance model.
      Can write profiles as well.
      Built-In profiles.
      Specialized abstract virtual profiles.
      Ink limiting.

  Please note that this is a library only for programmers.  If you do not
  understand all these, you do not need the port.  lcms is a CMM engine;
  it implements fast transforms between ICC (international color consortium)
  profiles.  lcms is NOT a file format or display library.  lcms knows nothing
  about how to display bitmaps (JPEG, TIFF, GIF or whatever).



  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================


  The sources need vsnprintf and snprintf to compile.  Because these are not
  available on djdev203 no binary compiled with djdev203 will be available.
  Hard coded paths to file names that are not 8.3 clean have also been modified
  so the sources can be compiled with SFN.  All DJGPP specific stuff is stored
  in the /djgpp subdir.



  The port consists of the two packages that can be downloaded from
  ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-08-13):
