===================================================

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely
distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching,
image composition and image authoring.

It is an extremely capable piece of software with many capabilities. It
can be used as a simple paint program, a expert quality photo retouching
program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image
renderer, an image format converter, etc.

GIMP is extremely expandedable and extensible. It is designed to be
augmented with plugins and extensions to do just about anything. The
advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to
the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. It requires
the GTK+ toolkit. The latest version is 1.0.4. Get it from:

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gtk/v1.0/
