This is to annouce that a new release of "xim" is available.
Fixes have been applyed and it is now possible to view
24-bit deep images. Also, new images have been added to pub/Pics.
It is available via anonymous ftp from m9-520-1.mit.edu or
Internet address 18.80.0.45.
For those not familiar with the program:
"Xim" is an X program that displays 8-bit and 24-bit images
on 8-bit color and monochrome monitors. It makes viewing images of
various depths and sizes on a variety of displays fast and easy.
Additionally, various processing options are available for displaying
images as bitmaps. This bitmap conversion is useful for making images
suitable for printing on conventional printers via "xdpr". Color
dithering is used to bring 24-bit images down to 8.
