+      JasPer is a software toolkit for the handling of image data. The software
+      provides a means for representing images, and facilitates the manipulation
+      of image data, as well as the import/export of such data in numerous
+      formats (e.g., JPEG-2000 JP2, JPEG, PNM, BMP, Sun Rasterfile, and
+      PGX). The import functionality supports the auto-detection (i.e.,
+      automatic determination) of the image format, eliminating the need to
+      explicitly identify the format of coded input data. A simple color
+      management engine is also provided in order to allow the accurate
+      representation of color. Partial support is included for the ICC color
+      profile file format, an industry standard for specifying color.
+
+      The JasPer software consists of a library and several application
+      programs. The code is written in the C programming language. This language
+      was chosen primarily due to the availability of C development environments
+      for most computing platforms when JasPer was first developed, circa 1999.
