This is a port of JasPer 1.900.0 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  JasPer is a collection of software (i.e., a library and application programs)
  for the coding and manipulation of images.  This software can handle image
  data in a variety of formats.  One such format supported by JasPer is the
  JPEG-2000 format defined in ISO/IEC 15444-1.



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

  There are no changes to the sources. Only the usual configuration files have
  been added. They are located in the /djgpp subdir.

  To configure the package you will have to install the ljepg port available
  at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/ljep6bb.zip
  or:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/ljep6bb.zip
  Of course, you can download a newer version of ljpeg if available. The ljpeg
  stored in /current have been compiled with djdev203 and is intented for use
  with Win98SE. The one from /beta is compiled with djdeb204 beta for the use
  with WinXP-SP2.

  Please read the docs to become familiar with this product.


  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  From the NEWS file:

    1) The wavelet transform code has been rewritten in order to be more
    cache efficient (via loop tiling).  As a few individuals have noted,
    the old code could often result in an excessive number of cache misses.

    2) Some man pages have been added to the distribution as provided
    by Roland Stigge <stigge AT debian DOT org>.

    3) Some simple timer routines have been added to facilitate performance
    measurements.

    4) Numerous bugs have been fixed (e.g., memory leaks, JP2 box processing
    problem, etc.).

    5) Some name space pollution issues have been resolved.

    6) A few compiler warnings have been fixed.
