I can successfully use pepper.gbr. File->Open loads it in just fine
and I can select the brush in File->Dialogs->Brushes.
FYI, I have no problems with Solaris 8/SPARC nor Tru64 UNIX 4.0D/5.0.
Trying to File->Open SketchBrush-16.gih returns:
Couldn't load one brush in the pipe, giving up.
Ditto for SketchBrush-32.gih and SketchBrush-64.gih.
