I in fact answered Susan's mail very delayed, and when I did, I allowed her to use my little programs for Debian (they could have been GPLed all the time, but I really didn't know better when I hacked them up). I also pointed Susan to a collegue of mine, Ingo Wilken, who is sort-of trying to maintain netpbm since it was abandoned by this swedish guy whose names escapes me at the moment..anyway, Ingo wants to release a new netpbm some day, and I believe it will help quite a lot if people push him a bit.. that's at least what I have been doing for the last 8 weeks, without much success so far. :-} Frank -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
