TI:	WSQ -- the FBI/Yale/Los Alamos [W]avelet-packet [S]calar [Q]uantization
         fingerprint compression algorithm, for Windows 3.1 or higher.
AU:     He Ouyang and M. Victor Wickerhauser
IN:     Washington University in St. Louis
SO:     Executable is available by anonymous ftp only
ST:     Public software
AB: This is an implementation of the WSQ algorithm as described in ``IAFIS
Use of the Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ) Compression/Decompression
Algorithm,'' J. J. Werner, 8 December 1992.  The implementation is designed
for well-equipped IBM-type desktop computers using the Windows 3.1 operating
system.  It reads .BMP files and writes compressed files, and vice versa.
Results are displayable on a high-resolution video monitor.  The quality
factor can be set under menu control.  Computations are performed in integer
arithmetic -- no floating-point coprocessor is needed.
