This is a port of library jbigkit 1.6 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

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

  The code of the library itself does not need any changes.  This is different
  for the two utility programs that come with the library.  Those programs
  need to switch STDIN nad STDOUT from text mode into binary mode to be able to
  process the image files correctly.  It is well known on MSDOS/DJGPP systems
  that switching STDIN/STDOUT, if connected to the console, into binary mode
  will inhibit the reaction of the program to cntl-c (SIGINT) and cntl-\
  (SIGQUIT) signals making it impossible to interrupt the programs.  Even the
  use of __djgpp_set_ctrl_c() will not solve the problem.  The programs have
  been compiled with STDIN/STDOUT switched to binary mode.  This will make the
  testsuite work and will make work the programs if used in a pipe.  If this
  program behaviour is not wanted, you will have to recompile those programs
  with the macro SET_STDIN_STDOUT_IN_BINARY_MODE set to 0 in both files
  /pbmtools/jbgtopbm.c and /pbmtools/pbmtojbg.c.  In that case you will get
  binaries that can be interrupted from the console but that will not be able
  to read or write files from STDIN and STDOUT.
  The package does not need any configuration.  To compile the products
  simple use the provided makefiles.  As usual the diffs file is stored
  in /djgpp.

  Please **read** the docs.


  The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using djdev203 and
  that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2006-06-25):

  For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced
  a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available
