DESCRIPTION
     vcomment is used to edit/change the comment field in an VIFF

     into a temporary file and then the user is allowed to edit
     the comment field using vi (a visual text editor).

     The new comment is copied back into the comment character
     array and then the image structure is copied out to the
     input file.

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
     -i     type: infile
            desc: input image

RESTRICTIONS
     The system is expected to support vi as the default text
     editor.

     The comment field to an VIFF file is only 512 in length.
     Which means only the first 511 characters are excepted.
