Tim,

Thank you for proposing this. It would be nice to add something similar to 
build HII Font packages and Keyboard Layout packages as well.

In UNI files, a “//” is used for comments, while “#” is used for tag 
definitions, such as “#string”, “#language”, and “#langdef”

Also, any reason the #jpeg construct is different from #image, since #image can 
be a BMP, GIF, or PNG files? Why not just use #image for JPG files as well?

Thanks,
--Samer

Hi Tim.
This may be naive, as I am not at all familiar with HII, nor .idf.
However given that "Comments are introduced with the ‘#’ character " then the 
keywords "#image", etc seem an unfortunate choice.  Have I missed something?

 Comments are introduced with the ‘#’ character and are terminated by the end 
of the line. The following table summarizes the commands in the image 
definition file:

Command

#image [#id integer] identifier “file-name”

Generate a bitmap image from the file specified by file-name.

#jpeg [#id integer] identifier|integer “file-name”

Generate a JPEG image from the file specified by file-name. >

#include “file-name”

Include another .idf file.
