I've uploaded the fourth public Release of my Graphic-Viewer GRAV to
sunsite.unc.edu GRAV runs at the Linux Console (NOT X11!!!!). It uses a
nice (think so) User Interface to select the images you want to look at.
GRAV supports many popular formats of graphics: GIF, PCX, LBM, IFF, PPM
PBM, BMP, JPEG, PNG and many many other....
To get GRAV running you must have installed at least NCurses 1.8 and
SVGALIB 0.98. Newer releases would be better of course ;-) But beware
that there are some bugs in ncurses versions > 1.8.7 and < 1.9.1a and
GRAV will probably not run with these versions of ncurses. And for the
new JPEG-Support you need the JPEGLIB >= 5.0 from the IJG!
There are no really "new" features, but I think GRAV now looks a little
bit nicer at some points, I fixed many bugs and I've included the full
source code of all used libraries - so all you ELF users can now use
GRAV, too (only the JPEGLIB isn't in the tar-archive).
Sometimes GRAV can't handle PING-Images correctly. Please eMail your
Ping-Images to me if you have problems with them. Especially I need some
Truecolor Ping-Images for testing!
So, watch out for the files grav-3.5.tar.gz and grav-3.5.lsm! Please send
any suggestions, comments and cakes ;-) to knick@cove.han.de
For the next version of GRAV I plan
o print images
o convert images to other formats
o display images in a X-Window if running under X
And please excuse my poor english. I've left school some years behind me ;-)
Bye
Michael
