pngtextadd
pngtextadd adds text comments to a
PNG image file using
libpng. It's pretty
minimal, but it's surprising how many image manipulation programs lack support
for setting text parts of PNG so with pngtextadd you can at least
ensure a description or author's name.

Download version 4 source here, or a Debian package here or from my repo.
pngtextadd-4.tar.gz(19k, and sig)

The sig files are a Gnu PG ascii armoured signatures generated from my key.

libpng16 which
includes "iTXt" international text. It should build against
libpng back to at least 1.2 if something else is desired.
