Sorrry about that: I'm way behind on my email at the moment...
My reaction to this is, the graphics library and tools sound like a
great idea, but why do we need a new file format? Is there anything so
fundamentally wrong with PCX, BMP, LBM, TGA, etc? Personally I think
there are way too many different image formats around already, and the
last thing the world needs is yet another one :-) What's wrong with
using the existing standards?
