Also, if you want you can refer to the source code for pdfread -- it's in python, but the tools used and intent are very much similiar.
The thing is, I archive devving in priorities. At that time I was writing my program https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11261 to easy convert a bunch of manga-collections. Because there was no other suitable solution for that, I've made it.
Then I wanted to extend it with rasterfarian's capabilities in order to cut down on processing time and actually batch things. That's why I converted the final steps. But that's when I thought... why spend my time on it, if my program combined with a small patched rasterfarian do the same trick too.

Unfortunately it seems that others do not like or has no need to use my program, because there weren't any comments. So I ditched the project with the idea "hey, it works for me as it is now".

If there really is truely a need for a rasterfarian in C#, I might consider to do a base start (probably not fully OO), but if there are none, I should spend my time on other projects (because I don't really need it myself).
