[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: catgets
The catgets package is now available in the Cygwin distribution. Catgets is a programming library for issuing messages via a message catalog so a program can speak multiple languages. The library contains the X/Open standard catgets(), catopen(), and catclose() calls. The package also includes the X/Open standard program gencat, which creates a message catalog. Many programs are written to use the standard catgets facility, so this package makes it possible to run those under Cygwin. This is the GNU C library's implementation, adapted to Cygwin.

Re: NetPBM & JPEG2000?
> what about netpbm support for jpeg2000? > Is there already somethng included or > is it planned? Netpbm now (Release 9.12) contains Pamtojp2k and Jp2ktopam, which are based on the Jasper library (which is included in the Netpbm package). As we probably noted before, you can also use the 'jasper' program that comes with the original Jasper library package. It doesn't handle Netpbm formats as well, though. -- Bryan HendersonPhone 408-621-2000 San Jose, California -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Great, I'll look at that too. The web site was down when I tried to look yesterday, so I assumed it was obsolete. But it's all there now, and looks like what Netpbm needs. The license is clearly not compatible with GPL, as it imposes two restrictions on redistribution. One of them is directly contrary to the spirit of Free Software that GPL is intended to advance: It says you can't use the software in a program that extends the JPEG 2000 standard. JJ2000 has the same restriction. But Netpbm is not GPL -- its parts have a wide variety of licenses, and I don't see a problem with packaging JasPer into Netpbm as pnmtoj2k/j2ktopnm. -- Bryan HendersonPhone 408-621-2000 San Jose, California -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: NetPBM & JPEG2000?
I had never heard of JPEG2000 when I got your email. However, I did a quick Google search to find out what it is. And I looked in Freshmeat and found JJ2000, which appears to convert between JPEG2000 and Netpbm formats. I'm going to look at including JJ2000 in Netpbm. But it is Java software, which would be quite a leap for Netpbm. If distributing Java software turns out to be impractical, maybe translating it to C won't be. -- Bryan HendersonPhone 408-621-2000 San Jose, California -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
