+
+A program to generate GIF images out of regular text. Text can be one line
+or multi-line, and is converted using 8 by 8 fixed font.<P>
+
+<H1>Usage:</H1>
+
+<pre>
+text2gif [-q] [-s ClrMapSize] [-f FGClr] [-c R G B] [-t "Text"] [-h]
+</pre>
+
+This program reads stdin if no text is provided on the command line (-t),
+and will dump the created GIF file to stdout.<P>
+
+<H1>Memory required:</H1>
+
+Line.
+
+<H1>Options:</H1>
+
+<DT> [-q]
+<DD> Quiet mode. Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX. Controls printout
+ of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert.<P>
+
+<DT>[-s ClrMapSize]
+<DD>Explicitly defines the size of the color map of the
+ resulting gif image. Usually the image will be bicolor with fg as color
+ 1, unless [-f] is explicitly given in case the color map size will be
+ big enough to hold it. However it is sometimes convenient to set the
+ color map size to certain size while the fg color is small mainly so
+ this image may be merged with another (images must match color map size).<P>
+
+<DT>[-f FG]
+<DD> Select foreground index (background is always 0). By default
+ it is one and therefore the image result is bicolored.
+ if FG is set to n then color map will be created with 2^k entries where
+ 2^k > n for minimum k, assuming k <= 8. This color map will be all zeros
+ except this forground index. This option is useful if this text image
+ should be integrated into other image colormap using their colors.<P>
+
+<DT> [-c R G B]
+<DD> The color to use as the foreground color. White by default.<P>
+
+<DT> [-t "Text"]
+<DD> One line of text can be provided on the command
+ line. Note you must encapsulate the Text within quotes if it has spaces
+ (The quotes themselves are not treated as part of the text). If no -t
+ option is provided, stdin is read until end of file.<P>
+
+<DT> [-h]
+<DD> Print one line command line help, similar to Usage above.<P>
+
+<H1>Notes:</H1>
+
+There is a hardcoded limit of 100 the number of lines.<P>
