	The IMDEBUG package was an ad hoc and rarely used set of tasks
written in the early days of the IMAGES package that was removed in V2.11.
The only really useful task it had was MKIMAGE, which has been supplanted
by the MKPATTERN task in the ARTDATA package and which is what you should
be using now.

Well, I kinda went around it with imslice+imtile tasks. It took much
longer to do what I needed but it finally worked.
