RE: Some Success with Gimp

["Albertson, Chris" <CAlbertson@primeadvantage.com>]

Don't know where Tom found his copy, but the Gimp web
site is www.gimp.org  At the bottom is a link to here
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32//  Go there and
click on "Downloads".

If you are looking for a book I found a list at
http://www.xach.com/gimp/books/
The manual distributed with the software is however
pretty good put you will either have to read it
on screen or get a color printer and a ream of
paper to print it out.  It took me "forever" to
make my own printed, duplexed and bound color manual.
