It's really irritating that ImageMagick grabbed command-line namespace this way. It's worse than you think, Jörg: "convert" and "identify" are also ImageMagick commands. The trouble is that they seem to have got away with it; for example, my blog-publishing system uses "convert" to wrangle pictures around, and it runs successfully on a huge number of different systems. There are a huge number of ImageMagick users; of the three command-line image wranglers (there are also gd, and the pbm family) it produces by far the best-quality graphics. So, it's reasonable to be irritated about this land-grab, but I'm afraid they have you outnumbered. -Tim _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
