IRIX and Software

mmm... I was under the impression that recent IRIX could handle JPEG images, but by some reason I've though I was wrong
Okay; seems that I'll make a newer version for >6.5.24, and I left the current with XLI for previous IRIX releases (seems useful for my own use anyway, where I'm installing sometimes for friends and customers some Indy/Indigo2 boxes only taking 6.5.22 as max version)

Thanks by your advice Neko!

But 6.5.22 can accept .jpg files! Everything 6.5.22+ which is the same requirement as Nekoware, so this still doesn't make sense

All your friends with Indy/Indigo2 boxes with 6.5.22 have native .jpg/.bmp/.png 4DWM background support; all the older machines have this capability. No XLI is needed.

Well; you're so convincent when do you like!
...Sure, I'll kill these pack.



Cool!; Time to run a re-packaged JPEG background module with a modded .backgrounds to run with native IRIX capabilities!
Just a question: ...then I could kill also the XPM based package too! ...What is the benefit of having it? The only caveat that I've noticed with JPG supporteds by XLI is the fact that the old 'snapshot' does not works properly; but I guess the IRIX built-in support works fine with any screen-capturing gizmo...
