One very important note is that ConvertImage.EXE is both an executable application AND an ActiveX component.  That is, the file, ConvertImage.EXE, can be ran as a stand alone application, and, can be referenced as a component within your development environment.

For Visual Basic users, simply make a reference to the ConvertImage.EXE file in the Tools\References menu item. Once done you will have access to the ConvertImage component. Here is some sample code illustrating its usage:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Dim ci As ConvertImage.clsConvertImage

  Dim lRetVal as Long

  Set ci = New ConvertImage.clsConvertImage

  ci.Key = "" ' Assign Key To the 'Final Key', given upon

              ' purchase/registration.

' Run by the command line.  See 'Convert Image' documentation

' for a full listing of switches and options.

  ' Convert TestImage.BMP to Output.JPG.

  '    Verbose output with /V. Remove /V to make it completely silent.

lRetVal = ci.DoCommandLine("/sE:\delme\TryMe.BMP /TE:\delme\Output.JPG /F2 /C1 /V")

'  Example of specifying a 'Conversion Job File'

'  lRetVal = citp.DoCommandLine("/j""E:\delme\cj.sii""")

' DoCommandLine() Return Values

'  0 = Success

' -1 = Shareware expired

' -2 = Command line String Emtpy or invalid

' -3 = Missing required (or invalid) command line argument(s)

  If (lRetVal = 0) Then

    MsgBox ("Success!")

  Else

    MsgBox ("Failure.")

  End If

  Set ci = Nothing

End Sub

As you can see from the code above, the ActiveX simply wraps the command line feature. So, to learn what you can do with the ActiveX, please refer to the 'Using the Command Line' section of the 'Convert Image' users manual.  Also, you will have to change the path information in the DoCommandLine() method for your particular set of files you are comparing.
