It is. Select comes with a module to do PNG conversion and it comes
with an upgraded version of ChangeFSI that uses this module. So, PNG
support in the Select version of ChangeFSI (and hence in TransFSI) is
just the tip of the iceberg. PNG support in the OS makes it easier for
programs to load/create PNGs. Though it is a nice things to have it is
by no means essential to have that functionality in the OS.
