Thanks to some nice work by Kazu, and some spare time this weekend (no thanks to the discount Sega Rally 8), I am happy to announce the latest splashkit release. Notable new features include: - Works with kzipped kernels. - Uses gzipped image data, reducing the footprint of the splash data file and kernel memory used for image storage. A new 'installsplash' program converts standard DIB (.BMP) files for use. - Centres images smaller than the screen. - Works more like a screensaver, which should reduce problems with X, etc. - Has kbdcontrol support for the 'display splash' key. The distribution is available at ftp://ftp.gsoft.com.au/misc/splashkit-980202.tar.gz As always, feedback and criticism are welcome. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
