MODULE NAME : write_iff_image

OUTPUTS	    : image  2D 4-vector byte

PARAMETERS  : filename

MODULE DESCRIPTION :
     This module writes an image in the iff format from an AVS Network.

FILE TYPE DESCRIPTION :
     iff image files  are  generated  by  Sun  Microsystems  TAAC
     software  such  as  voxvu(1) and cloudvu(1).  See the _T_A_A_C-_1
     _A_p_p_l_i_c_a_t_i_o_n  _A_c_c_e_l_e_r_a_t_o_r:  _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e  _R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e  _M_a_n_u_a_l   for
     information on how to use these programs.

     Note that image files compressed with the  Sun-TAAC  utility
     make_movie(1) cannot be read by the SDSC image library.

FILE RECOGNITION
     iff files are recognized by the following  filename  suffix:
     .iff.

NOTE :
   This module requires that libim.a and libsdsc.a be installed in
   the /usr/lib directory for compilation with the given Makefiles.
   Both of these libraries can be obtained through anonymous ftp to
   sdsc.edu.  For more information, send email to info@sdsc.edu.
