ACBT - Comic Book Tools

ACBT - Command-line conversion and creation tools for comic book files (Windows & Linux).

This is a stand-alone, command-line version of some of the tools available in "ACBR - Comic Book Reader". It was made as a quick test to see if some of the code from ACBR could be used to make a basic command-line tool and probably won't be updated often, if at all.
