GBM plugin 1.32 for Lucide 1.20 ------------------------------- This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation that extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL. Get package gbmos2plugins_lu132_moz133_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). GBM plugin 1.33 for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey ------------------------------------------------------ This is a plugin for the Webbrowsers Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and SeaMonkey available for OS/2 and eComStation that extends them for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL. Get package gbmos2plugins_lu132_moz133_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). GBM.DLL 1.54 and GBM command line tools --------------------------------------- The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format the pictures are in, or any details about file format itself. It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools. Get package gbmos2_154_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). GBM.DLL REXX adapter library (GBMRX 1.10) ----------------------------------------- GBMRX.DLL is a REXX adapter DLL for OS/2 and eComStation which REXX programs may use to load or save all bitmap file formats supported by the GBM.DLL (to/from a file). Almost full feature set of GBM.DLL is provided by the REXX API. I/O remapping is not supported due to language restrictions. Now some image manipulations can be done like scale, reflect, rotate. Get package gbmos2rx110_bin.zip from Hobbes. It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below). Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.42 -------------------------------- GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the OS/2 and eCS Presentation Manager. GBMV is a simple bitmap viewer. Get package gbmos2pm142_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users: ------------------------------------- Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an old GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.54). Please follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs as well as for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.
