Hi everybody,
http://www.bttr-software.de/freesoft/graphics.htm lists a number of free and/or open source painting and image viewer programs for DOS. I wonder what YOUR impressions are regarding those, because I would suggest to add at least 1 paint and 1 image viewer app to our "full" collection of applications. GrafX2 and OGE are two possible choices for paint applications listed on the BTTR page. PAINT2 is still listed as open source in the LSM: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/pkg-html/paint2.html However, as has been mentioned in the WIKI, it has a number of closed source OBJ files. The LSM should be updated to reflect that. http://www.bttr-software.de/products/vp386/ VGA Paint 386 is a Deluxe Paint clone and, according to https://www.bttr-software.de/products/divt/ causes instability on exit (in certain cases?) by not properly restoring interrupt vectors. The list on BTTR only has closed source freeware image viewers, but maybe one of the authors would be willing to release sources. Which ones should be asked and is any of you feeling like doing that? # PictView (Jan Patera) # LXPIC (Stefan Peichl) # QPV and QPNG (Oliver Fromme) I guess PictView and maybe LXpic are most interesting. I also recommend to include MPXPLAY, the versatile media player with support for modern sound cards, in FreeDOS! Regards, Eric PS: Nice that DOS versions of TESTDISK and PHOTOREC exist. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
