Due to my inexperience my contributions will start off slow but I hope to take on more as time marches on. Two small things for consideration in 2.1: Ever since I started with 2.0R I really enjoyed the port of ImageMagick but a few things have been broken on it. In 2.0.5R the program does not recognize targa files without preceding the filename with 'tga:' and the gzip/compress feature has never worked. After I upgraded my system, I had to go to XFree86 v3.1.2 and I got version 3.6.6 of ImageMagick to finally get it working right. This version recognizes targa files but the gzip/ compression feature did'nt work. Long story short, in the two files encode.c and decode.c in the subdirectory magick, the references to file mode type should be changed from "rb" and "wb" to "r" and "w". All works now. I'm trying to learn the porting process but I hope you can get this into 2.1R. Another small thing not related to ports, the GNU man program does not find personal man pages in your home directory as the docs say it does. My fix is to turn the suid off for man. This seems to work perfect now. Hope this helps some. I'll keep trying and learning. Thank you for your effort, Tom tjackson@tulsix.utulsa.edu
