Its been around for about 10 years, compiles on anything that moves, and includes a vast array of basic image conversion/manipulation tools. Not too hard to work with, either. chances are its already installed if you have any fancy X11 packages on your system. look in ports/netpbm or http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/ -pete On Wed, 28 Feb 2001, Joseph Gleason wrote: > I am a Computer Science student at Virginia Tech.
