	You might want to try the PixEditT program which is part of the
	Free Widgets release available on a.cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1)
	in pub/fwf.shar.Z.

	This program is pretty simple (no rotate, stretch, etc.), but it does
	support scrolling, zoom, cut/copy/paste, fill, flip, invert.  It
	also can edit & save b&w & color images (color images saved to XPM2
	format).  If you like it, publicize it, so more people can hear
	about it.  If there is enough interest, I can add rotate & floodfill
	and text, and other commands...
