imconv: image converter program.

Three commands make up this image conversion package.

• imconv performs the conversion between different image file formats.
• imformats is a utility to list information on image file formats.
• imfile attempts to discern the file format of the files on the command line.

imconv [options] [-informat] [-infile] infilename [-outformat] [-outfile] outfilename

Generally, the package is smart enough to determine the format of the files, mainly by looking at their ``extension".

The different file formats supported are:
