Enhancements
============

SMUtil

1.	The flm2tiff conversion was enhanced. The image quality is a lot better
	now, and the process is also reversible, without to significant of a 
	picture quality degradation.

2.	flm2tiff now can also handle YUV Mode 1 images.

libtiff.a

3.	smReadYImage has been added to allow faster reading of Y only (grayscale)
	images. This call will produce  FLM files with YUVMode 1 data. Calling 
	parameters are identical to smReadImage. Only half the memory is necessary
	for Y only images. (size = width * height). (There is a smWriteYImage but,
	smWriteImage will handle Mode 1 images as well).

4. smWriteImage now als handles YUV Mode 1 FLM images.

SMParser

5.	The parser supports the two new read and write methods with the
	yread and ydisplay commands.

	
Bug fixes
=========

libsm.a

1. 	Bug in smReadImage that cause at 64 byte offset and could be noticed as
	a 32bit pixel shift in images.

2.	Bug that cause horizontal 'stipes' in images when reading or writing
	them. This was due to a bug in port I/O on some machines.
