+# very cheap since most pixels remain exactly the same color.
+# I frames (complete pictures) are expensive, so they are infrequent.
+#    Inidividual maps are stored as gifs (a very compact storage format for
+# this sort of data) and enlarged and converted on the fly to ppm format
+# using various netpbm tools.
+#     This file is modified by param.pl to generate the real .param file
+# with the correct input filenames.
