Edited DESCR in the case of:
File too long (should be no more than 24 lines). Line too long (should be no more than 80 characters). Trailing empty lines. Trailing white-space. Trucated the long files as best as possible while preserving the most info contained in them.

-This software package contains an implementation of JPEG-LS, the
-emerging lossless/near-lossless compression standard for continuous-tone
-images being developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG1 (draft document
-FCD14495 as of November 1997). The names of the executables in the
-software package derive from the acronym LOCO, as the core of the
-new standard is based on the LOCO-I algorithm (LOw COmplexity
-LOssless COmpression for Images) developed at Hewlett-Packard
-Laboratories (reference: M. Weinberger, G. Seroussi, G. Sapiro,

-Algorithm," Proc. IEEE Data Compression Conference, Snowbird, Utah,
-March-April 1996).

-The term "near-lossless compression" refers to a lossy algorithm
-for which each decompressed image sample differs from the corresponding
-original image sample by not more than a pre-specified value, the
-(usually small) "loss." Lossless compression corresponds to loss=0.
-Even though the term "continuous-tone image" refers in principle
-to any image whose components have more than one bit per sample,
-palletized images may require a reordering of the color palette
-for best compression results using LOCO-I on the array of color
-indices. This functionality is not implemented in the present
-software, although it is supported by the new standard, and is easy
-enough to implement with the tools given. Notice, however, that
-LOCO-I and JPEG-LS were not designed, and might not give optimal
-performance, for images that have been palletized through dithering.
