Due to several pretty serious bugs and compatibility problems with xloadimage version 2.00, a patch is now available for version 2.01. If you are using version 2.00, I *STRONGLY* recommend applying the 2.01 patch. This patch has the following fixes and enhancements: * A fix to smooth.c was made to correct a bug which caused coredumps on some images. * window.c was patched to work around a bug in twm/tvtwm where not setting the PMaxSize hint sometimes caused the window manager to crash the server. * The resource class name was changed to Xloadimage to conform with naming standards and to work around a problem with twm/tvtwm where it would not assign a title bar to xloadimage windows. * Several problems with System-V compilation were corrected. * The gcc-1-37 make target was fixed. * The GIF loader was patched to better identify GIF files and to respond better to short GIF files. * The Utah RLE image loader was patched to work with the updated ZIO package. * A new image format, McIDAS, was added. This format is often used for weather images. This patch may be obtained via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/xloadimage.2.01.patch.Z, from comp.sources.x in the near future, or directly from me via email. Please try the public sources before trying a direct request. Enjoy, jim frost saber software jimf@saber.com
