Is it really true that there aren't any simple X-windows paint programs? I mean besides the silly bitmap program. In case there IS something out there, I'd like the ability to draw lines, put in bitmapped text, simple polygons, etc. And output to g3 fax, pcx, or any of the pbm formats. Help! I'd even consider a commercial package. Do you really mean "paint" program, or will a "draw" type program suffice. It sounds like it will. The one that I prefer to use is called tgif (no relation to the Compuserve GIF standard). It is an object based draw program with Postscript output... if you need PBM format, just dump the window that contains the document to xwd format and voila, you've got a paint program.. tgif is available via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu -Paul -- Paul Nakada | Oracle Corporation | pnakada@oracle.com
