     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.
