[Lancaster] GIMP colour & [Re: SAMBA Problem]

[Ken Hough]

Richard,

Thanks for the link. I'm in the process of downloading the 6 to 7MB file 
now. Will report on progress in due course.

Can't wait to get broadband!

I note that the Cinepaint web page shows it running under SuSE Linux 
v9ish, so I shouldn't (or hope not to) have too many problems in 
compiling and installing it.
