         Stega v1.03

  Stega lets you hide messages (text, data, programs, etc.) inside the 
least significant bits (LSB) of sound samples and 24-bit color graphics 
(8-bit greyscale).  This will alter the image/sound VERY slightly, so 
that no one will know that the message is there unless they run it 
through Stega.

  Messages can be unhidden to a file or read from a cli (text files 
only).  Messages will survive file conversions (WAV <> IFF) and will still 
be readable if target format is supported by Stega (otherwise you convert back).

Uses:

 - Hidding encrypted files for subliminal transport. Keeps people from 
   knowing that you are engaged in encrypted communications.
 - Adding notations/information to sounds/images.  Only useful if file
   won't be edited since message will be lost.

Supported carrier types:
* SOUND
  - IFF-8SVX
  - RIFF-WAV (MS Windows)
* GRAPHICS
  - IFF-24 (uncompressed)
  - IFF-DEEP (uncompressed)

NOTE:
  Compressed formats are not yet supported.  To use IFF-24 you will 
need a program that writes/reads uncompressed files.  However, most people 
don't seem to use compressed 8SVX's so it is still very usable for that.
