NEW: GBM.DLL REXX adapter library (GBMRX 1.0)
---------------------------------------------
(Public Domain)

GBMRX.DLL is a REXX adapter DLL for OS/2 and eComStation which REXX programs may use to load or save all bitmap file formats supported by the GBM.DLL (to/from a file).

Almost full feature set of GBM.DLL is provided by the REXX API. I/O remapping is not supported due to language restrictions.

Get package gbmos2rx101_bin.zip from Hobbes.
It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below).


GBM File Dialog REXX adapter library (GBMDLGRX 1.01)
----------------------------------------------------
(Public Domain)

The REXX adapter DLL allows REXX programmers to use the GBM File Dialog in their programs. It requires availability of GBM.DLL and the GBM File Dialog DLLs (GBMDLG.DLL and GBMDLG.HLP).

Get package gbmos2rx101_bin.zip from Hobbes.
It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below).


GBM.DLL 1.39 and GBM command line tools
---------------------------------------
(Public Domain)

The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format the pictures are in, or any details about file format itself.

In this version, extended PNG, TIF and PPM support is additionally included. PNG and TIF support also 16, 32, 48, 64 bpp colour depths with/without alpha channel. PPM supports also 48 bpp colour depth.

It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools.

Get package gbmos2_139_bin.zip from Hobbes.
It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below).


Enhanced GBMV2 Version 1.26
---------------------------
(Public Domain)

GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the OS/2 and eCS Presentation Manager.

Enhanced release of the GBMV2-Viewer from the GBMOS2PM package:
* An English and a German version of GBMV2 is included.
* An English and a German version of the GBM file dialog is included.

GBMDLG.DLL has been extended by:
