PMView 2000 2.10 for OS/2 is available from:

  ftp://ftp.blueprintsoftware.com/pub/pmv2kos2.zip 

See http://www.pmview.com for details.

The following features are new in PMView 2000 v2.10: 

1. WBMP (WAP Bitmap) file support (read/write)
2. PIC (Softimage Picture) file support (read/write)
3. Threshold control for Black/White conversion
4. PMView's System Info dialog now includes the version and internal
build number of PMView. 

The following bugs and problems are fixed in PMView 2000 v2.10: 

1. Loading, JPEG: Some recovered JPEG (non-JFIF) files do not load
because they are mistaken for FAX G3 files. The detection of FAX G3
is too lenient. The requirement is incresed from a 10 line minimum to
a 100 line minimum for G3 files. 
2. Loading, Windows BMP: Loading a Win32 BI_BITFILEDS type bitmap
file results in incorrect colors (interchanged red/blue color
compontents).
3. Loading, TIFF: Some TIFF files using Packbits compression cannot
be read. PMView refuses to read files that are incorrectly stored
with scanlines that decode into too many bytes. This is now fixed so
that PMView is more lenient in its error checking and accepts such
TIFF files.
4. Saving, Windows BMP: Windows BMP files saved with PMView has an
error in the file header.
5. Saving, EPS: PMView generates an incorrect BoundingBox and scale
factor.
6. Zooming: Zooming to the minimum or maximum limit causes the zoom
to get stuck at either limit.
7. Zooming: Zooming intermittently crashes PMView.
8. Slideshow: Closing a slideshow disables the file sequencer
(File->Next/Previous).
9. Slideshow: The color and the font are not saved.
10. Slideshow: The background of the progress bar is  not painted
correctly.
11. Printing: Printing on a printer that uses different horizontal
and vertical resolution results in a stretched image.
12. Brightness/Contrast/Color dialog: Contrast adjustment algorithm
improved.
13. Tool bar: The tool bar icons remain grayed-out after applying a
transform to an image.
14. File Save dialog: When saving a new image (not existing on disk
yet), PMView correctly opens the save dialog with the last folder
saved to highlited in the directory tree. However, the container does
not show the contents of this directory.
15. File Open/Save dialogs: Conversion status is not correctly
displayed.
16. File Open/Save dialogs: Files in use (locked) by other
applications will not appear.
17. General performance: The minimum thread priority delta for
threads is changed from 0 to 1. This lets other applications in the
system be even "more idle" than any of PMView's background tasks.
18. Installation: Installation instructions updated.
19. Installation: The REXX script for manual installation updated.
