This directory contains the latest version of NIH Image, a public domain 
image processing and analysis program for the Macintosh. NIH Image 
requires a Macintosh with a color or grayscale display and at least 
2MB of free RAM. A Win32 version is available from www.scioncorp.com
and a Java version from rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/. More information 
is available on the NIH Image Web site at:

     HTTP://RSB.INFO.NIH.GOV/NIH-IMAGE/

Files names with a '.txt' extension are text files. Those with a ".hqx" 
extension are BinHex encoded and those with a ".bin" extension are 
MacBinary encoded. The best Mac program for downloading these files is 
Fetch (in the programs directory) or download them some other way (in 
text format) and use Stuffit or Compact Pro (also in the programs 
directory) to decode and uncompress them. For more information, read 
"ftp-primer.txt" in the documents directory.
