Do you know anywhere I could find some > instructions for installing GIMP 1.3.x under Windows? obviously Tor and Hans have some problems with the way we reorganized the code. I'm sure however that this can be solved. Due to the much improved abstraction layers in GLib-2.x, the GIMP-1.3 source tree is a lot more portable and should compile out-of-the-box provided you get the build system setup correctly. But then, I've never tried it myself, so you should probably ignore me. Salut, Sven
