In theory this would be a dinamite package, but I haven't been able to get them to compile in current or in stable. The current versions are gimp-0.99.23.tar.gz gtk+-0.99.9.tar.gz and sane-0.71.tar.gz. The first two can be found on http://www.gimp.org and the later on http://www.mostang.com/sane. ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
