.SH NAME
rgb2gif \- 
A program to convert 24 bit images to a GIF image using color quantization.


.SH USAGE

.B rgb2gif [\-q] [\-c #Colors] [\-1] \-s Width Height [\-h] RGBFile


If no RGBFile is given, RGB2Gif will try to read a GIF file from stdin.

.SH MEMORY REQUIRED

Screen.

.SH OPTIONS

.IP [\-q]

 Quiet mode.  Defaulte off on MSDOS, on under UNIX.  Controls printout
of running scan lines.  Use \-q\- to invert.

.IP "[\-c #Colors] 

 Specifies number of colors to use, in bits per pixels, so
`\-c 8' specifies actually 256 colors (maximum and default).

.IP [\-1]

 Only one file in the format of RGBRGB... triplets (Each of R, G, B
is a byte) is read from input.  This file size is 3 * Width * Height (see
`\-s' below.  If stdin is used for input, this option is implicitly applied.
The default (if not '\-1') is 3 files with the names RGBFile.R, RGBFile.G,
RGBFile.B, each of which is Width * Height bytes.

.IP "[\-s Width Height]

 Specifies the size of the image to read.

.IP [\-h]

 Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.
