DjVu base libraries and utilities

DjVu is a web-centric format and software platform for distributing documents and images. DjVu was originally developed at AT&T Labs-Research. In March 2000, AT&T sold DjVu to LizardTech Inc. who now distributes Windows/Mac plug-ins, and commercial encoders (mostly on Windows). LizardTech released the reference implementation of DjVu under the GNU GPL in October 2000. DjVuLibre (which means free DjVu), is an enhanced version of that code, maintained by the original inventors of DjVu. It is compatible with version 3.5 of the LizardTech DjVu software suite.
