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
