DESCRIPTION
       IImmgg  is a TTkk extension, adding support for many other Image formats, as
       listed below. The individual formats are described in  more  detail  on
       their own pages.

       bmp    Windows bitmap format.  See iimmgg-bbmmpp.

       gif    The  venerable  graphics  interchange format (with transparency,
              but without LZW. The latter due to patent issues).  See iimmgg-ggiiff.

       jpeg   The  format for lossy compressed still pictures specified by the
              Joint Picture Experts Group.  See iimmgg-jjppeegg.

              external application, gghhoossttvviieeww, for its operation.  See iimmgg-ppss.
