Subject:	Gimp for OpenVMS
Some months ago I've begun a port of Gimp 1.0 under VMS (Gimp means Gnu Image
Manipulation Program). Actually, The GTK library version 1.0.1 is ported
(with a few limitations: Alpha only, no sharable library and File Selector
unable to change directory). The library is available at
http://www2.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr/ftp/decwindows/lib/gtkx-1_0_1.zip

The port of Gimp is working but without the plug-ins. However, Gimp without
plug-ins is quite useless, it only kown its own file format. Plug-ins are
launched via a fork exec mechanism, but under VMS I have some problems
to implement correcty that. The automatic registry of plug-ins during the
startup of Gimp is working (with a few problems), but actually I cannot make
use of a plug-in to read or write a file (into GIF or TGA, the two plug-ins I
try to port).

The Gimp kit is available at url:
