+# DDS-Utils
+
+DDS-Utils are a selection of tools to work with DirectDrawSurfaces textures in Java.
+
+## DDS-Utils Provides
+
+Badds - Batch a DDS, Rescale and Batch-process DDS-files.
+Radds - Review a DDS, Lightweight DDS-viewer
+Dropps - Simple DDS-image-converter
+DDSUtil - Wannabe-library for DDS-conversion
+
+Each subproject has it's own project folder in the repository. 
+I use eclipse to check each one out. The Tools require the DDSUtils-project in their buildpath.
+
+## History
+
+The project stem from some hobby work I did in summer 2008. 
+Out of boredom I wanted to be able to load DDS files in Java and write tools
+for reviewing and processing in Java. This was my first own bigger java project and therefore
+I'm sure there are things that can be nicer and I'm open for feedback and criticism.
