Hello, firstly i like to thank you for spending time to read my mail. i'm a Uni. student in Malaysia. my final project is to create a plug-in for GIMP. currently i'm using windows version of GIMP in my Athlon 550 PC. the OS i'm runnig now was Windows 98. actually i tries Windows ME b4 but with Windows ME, Linux cant be installed becuase of the DOS verwion of ME. so i would like to know about the requirements and instructions to write a plug-in and some steps too. i know using VB,Pascal and a little bit knowleadge of Visual C++. so what ur recommentation to me? Linux platform is quite new to me because i'm a 'regular' Windows' user :) . now i'm using GIMP ver 0805 released. it a windows version of GIMP. i think GIMP plug-in may run on this windows version. the gimp i'm using now is only contain minor feature if compare to linux version. lastly i hope u can give some help to me....thanks a lot!
