4. Technical Description
* redxblue.c - Converts a RGB (24-bit) format rasterfile to a BGR one or
* a XRGB (32-bit) format rasterfile to a XBGR one, or vice versa. It
* does this by switching the red and blue bytes.
redxblue is a utility to produce xBGR "Sun Rasterfiles" from xRGB
format. We know of no users of this utility outside of Xsun splash
image generation from archived images. All of these components will
not be needed when the Xsun EOL is completed.
The convert(1) utility, a component of ImageMagick is the recommended
replacement utility. It provides translation and manipulation of all
contemporary image file types.
This case announces the EOF of, and removes, the redxblue utility
and documentation.
