I'm interested in information on EVERY color bitmap editing program
that is available for UNIX computers, and specifically SUN's with the
*twm and/or *mwm window managers.
I was delighted to hear that CorelDRAW has been ported over to most
UNIX platforms, but the faxback sheets I got from their automated
1-800 service seems to indicate that the bitmap editor (which is on
both the Windoze and Windoze CD-ROM versions) is *NOT* present in the
UNIX version. Now, with the entire package costing almost six hundred
US$ (the educational discount is $300, which makes the price much more
paletable!), I can't believe they didn't take the time to port over
the bitmap editor.
The CS department at my University has Island Paint, which I am not
impressed with. I have only been able to use it on monochrome X
displays, but the tools just don't seem very powerful to me.
The issue of editing these bitmaps is very important to me, but the
wares themselves must be the "Stealth Application"(tm) of UNIX.
Please email me any and all information on PD, Shareware, or
commercial bitmap editing software for the SUN SPARCstation line.
Please, I'm not interested in anything that requires OPEN LOOK.
