This is the version 1.0 of GIMP for XFree86/OS2.

New in this release:

   * many bugs are fixed
   * linked with gtk+-1.0.5
   * better file selection dialog
   * direct printing (still has some small problems)
   * simple installation

Two packages:

   gimp10bin.zip	- EXE's (gimp.exe and plug-ins) and DLL's
   gimp10data.zip	- data files

Installation:

   cd <your %X11ROOT% directory>
   unzip gimp10data.zip
   unzip gimp10bin.zip

   The original shm.dll included in XFree86-3.3.2 release has a serious bug.
   Be sure to replace shm.dll with that included in gimp10bin.zip.

   If there is a sub-directory named .gimp in your %HOME% directory,
   remove/rename it. GIMP/2 will create a new one at the first run.

   The disk drive of your %HOME% directory must have an enough space
   for swap and temporary files. Always check the %HOME%\.gimp\tmp
   directory and clean the garbage after running gimp.

   run gimp.exe and enjoy it :-)

*** WARNING ***
*** WARNING ***
*** WARNING ***
   There is an unknown XSHM bug in the full-featured X server with
   PEX,XI,XIE support, so I suggest you to use the smaller X server
   in S332*.ZIP.
   If you insist to use the full-featured X server,
   you must run gimp.exe with the argument --no-xshm (i.e. gimp --no-xshm);
   otherwise, the full-featured X server will crash.

NOTEs for gimprc of GIMP/2:

   * The variable x11root is set to the environment variable X11ROOT.
   * Paths are separated by ';'. (OS/2 convention)

How to build GIMP/2 from scratch:

   If you want to build GIMP/2 from scratch, you must apply the diff file,
   XFree86/src/diffs/gimp100.diff, to the source code and get the 
   libraries in the dev/ sub-directory. These libraries can also be
   available at http://r350.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~hcchu/os2/xf86lib.html
   (gtk+-1.0.5 and xpm-3.4k) and
   http://r350.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~hcchu/os2/misclib.html (aa-1.2, gdbm-1.7.3,
   gif-3.0, jpeg-6b, mpeg-1.2.1, png-1.0.2, tiff-3.4, xdelta-0.23 and
   zlib-1.1.2).

BUG report:

   Please send the bug report to GIMP/2 mailing list (see
   http://www.netlabs.org/gimp/) since the bug may only exist in
   the GIMP/2 port.
