Portability #1

While using C++ as a language makes the utility highly portable on linux systems, it still leaves work to be done porting it to Windows and Mac systems.

Recommend investigating file handling / image parsing in Java, to match the language of the other utilities in the NtT suite and to allow better cross-platform portability.

JAI and BufferedImage both look promising.

BI in particular looks to abstract out the file reading step and allow us to use other image formats than ppm.
