Yes, any image format that Houdini understands will work.

Um. Anything a little more up to date?

Can't seem to find any obvious options for it in the current HDA layout.

I see nothing in the code to suggest that this is possible.

I concur, even for 6.6.X.X … You've probably mistakenly remembered the in-house java apps in use at the time that were launched from within Houdini.
