It still requires the XFree86 for OS/2 package. You will find information about installing it on the GIMP/2 page (see address below) New features: - Added a lot of Plug-ins. (about 130!) - Replaced the fork() with spawn() to increase the plug-in startup. - Improved the File dialog. The new version has been greatly enhanced over the first release, so don't miss this upgrade! Limitations in the current release: - it's slow, but first we have to implement all features (like script-fu) - not all plugins are working Unfortunately I don't know what happened to Hugues Ferland (he was working on the PM Version of GIMP) I think we have to start again from scratch with the native PM version. The work we have to do is porting the GTK (Gimp ToolKit) to OS/2. The rest should not be very hard because we have an XFree-Version of GIMP running. If you are interested in supporting us, or if you know what might have happened to Hugues Ferland, please send a mail to ktk@netlabs.org!
