Hello, world,

Thanks for all the developers of the 386bsd, especially Jolitz.  Now my
486SX with 8M RAM is running 386bsd 0.1 with XFree86 with OPENLOOK
smoothly!

So I decided to make it look even better.  I searched through the X11
contribute and found imglib 1.3, and I've ported it to 386bsd after a
few hours of work.  Now I can use 'giftoimg' to convert a 256 color
Porsche model 944 picture into its image format and let another utility
'setback' inside the imglib to set the background into this colorful
Porsche!  It looks fantastic.

I wonder if I've been doing any duplicated work since I believe that
there must be somebody else who have ported this nice utility before I
did.  Please tell me whether my upload of this port will be welcome by
agate or not.

Happy 386BSDing!

rgds,
patrick ko
