The PPS staff is in the process of designing an updated
utility to take the place of the current PBEXTRACT, PBREDUCE, and
PBFORM functions.  This new utility will be written in C, will
handle the vertical reflect capability of our new hardwares, and
support all current features across horizontal & vertical
extractions.  Additionally, this utility will include extensions
to work with the new .RAD file format to be used on the new
Animation Workstation (TAT for short).  Since this utility will
support our graphic work into the 1990's, I am soliciting input
during this design phase; Any Suggestions ?

	A final note, the .DAT & .PBR format will be replaced with
a more friendly file format, and a macro file include feature
will be implemented to allow for customized output formats.
