External libraries and tools used to build VLIV

VLIV is written in pure C (about 3000 lines, not counting resource file). I am using numerous external libraries to load some image types, as well as other tools.

Libraries are:

• libtiff for TIFF files handling
• IJG JPEG library for JPEG amd JPEG-in-TIFF handling
• libpng for PNG handling
• zlib (indirect usage through libpng) for Deflate compression in TIFF images
• OWND library for intellimouse handling

External tools I use are:

• UPX for compacting the VLIV executable
  
• NSIS for the installer

All these tools are very well designed, and have saved me lot of time in getting VLIV done.
