# gif2xface -- converts a 48x48 GIF file to an X-Face mail header
#
# Author:  Ricardo Mones <ricardo@mones.org>
#
#   This is a hack over the original xbm2face script. The xbm files generated
#   by some graphic tools (notably The Gimp version 1.2.1) aren't suitable to
#   feed the compface program. Starting with a GIF and using some filters does
#   the trick. A little help screen also added.
#   This requieres giftopnm and pbmtoxbm (both in libgr-progs package).

#   This is a Perl script that I wrote to convert 48x48 xbm (X bitmap) files
#   into X-Face: headers suitable for inclusion in RFC822 internet
#   electronic mail.  A 48x48 bitmap is awfully small, but X-Faces are still
#   good enough for other people to visually establish your identity in
#   email without having to carefully read your name.
# 
#   Basically, it gets you noticed...either as the person with the cool
#   X-Face or as that jerk with modem noise in all of his email messages.
# 
#   People will start looking over your shoulder and say "Hey Cool!  How'd
#   you do that?"  When they do, you just send 'em to my URL for this
#   utility and tell 'em to upgrade to a real mail reader: XEmacs and VM.
#
# It also requires the 'compface' utility.
