The GIMP and GNOME projects beg to differ: "The GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program." -- The very first sentence at http://www.gimp.org/ "GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project, dedicated to giving users and developers the ultimate level of control over their desktops, their software, and their data. Find out more about the GNU project and Free Software at gnu.org." -- Second paragraph at http://www.gnome.org/about/ Tim -- Timothy Musson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/
