Thanks. My only regret on dumping Windows was losing Irfanview - it did
work in Wine, but clunkily - but that was early days. My last Windoze
iteration was W 2000.
You can do anything Irfanview does in The Gimp, but not as easily, and
The Gimp takes *ages* to load in comparison.
Perhaps I ought to learn to play with building stuff now I have all this
spare time forced on me innit.
