Lucide is a general purpose document viewer for eComStation. It provides a plugin interface which allows developers to integrate support for all kinds of document files. For details about Lucide please visit the Lucide project homepage.
Please note that Lucide is still in beta status and thus also the GBM plugin might not work in all cases as expected.
The GBM plugin for Lucide is such an extension that provides access to all GBM supported bitmap formats. The following Lucide features are currently supported by the plugin:
For being able to use it, the following additional files are required:
Note:
GBM.DLL version 1.41 must not be used as it contains a compiler
optimization issue that reduces stability. When used together
with the GBM plugin for Lucide, Lucide will crash when opening
JPEG bitmaps. Please upgrade to GBM.DLL version 1.42 or higher.
Simply copy lugbm.dll
into the Lucide installation directory.
Please check the requirements listed for gbm.dll
above.
Copy gbm.dll
either into the Lucide installation directory beside
lugbm.dll
or put it somewhere in your LIBPATH (defined in CONFIG.SYS).
Note:
If you are using Rich Walsh's RUN! or LIBPATHSTRICT, the plugin will not work
without some additonal effort from you. Simply copy gbm.dll
into the Lucide installation directory (beside the .exe and the plugin DLL
lugbm.dll
). Then try again.
