 NAME
      offconv - OFF file conversion utility

 SYNOPSIS
      offconv [-a][-b][-p][-n] inobj outobj

 DESCRIPTION
      Offconv converts objects in OFF (Object File Format) from ASCII to
      binary or vice versa.  If no options are given, or if the -a option is
      specified, inobj is read in and then written as outobj in ASCII
      format. If the -b option is given, inobj is read in and then written
      as outobj in binary format.  If the -p option is specified, the off
      file is packed, removing redundant vertices in the geometry list. If
      the -n option is specified, per polygon normals are computed and added
      to the output.

 BUGS
      Inobj can be the same as outobj.  However, such usage is not
      recommended.  In the event the process is halted (manually or by a
      system crash), the original file can be blown away.

      Per-vertex colors and per-vertex normals are not packed with the -p
      option, so it should not be used on objects with per-vertex colors or
      normals.
