Me.  I got a question:  I tried to get gimp for freebsd before, only to
find out it needs Motif stuff, which I do not have.  Is there any
versions that do not need said stuff?  The reason why I asked this is
because at that time I got gimp, I got it from a different source than
berkeley.edu, because berkeley was at that time broken.

Another question:  How can I get it via text-only email (no internet
account, sorry, too expensive for me - I live in a very very rural area)?
 uudecode it and split into floppy-diskette size chunks, where I can cat
the chunks together into one big file?  The email is also on the Lose95
side; that's why I need to be able to get it in floppy-sized chunks :(
