We are inclined to be source distributors, and leave the making of more specialized binary distributions to folks who know how to make them. For example, the freeware volunteers at SGI build gimp packages from sources originating from the same gnome repository the gimp developers here support, but employ the SGI software packager, and these install fairly effortlessly on the various SGI's I have. They are current to Gimp 1.2.3 with a package dated Jul-01-2002. http://freeware.sgi.com/index-by-alpha.html It would be nice if we tell people to where they may find more exotic binaries, such as for SGI, and give such folks a few thank-you's every now and then. Mea culpa. Hopefully this note will correct some of that. Be good, be well Garry
