GBMV2 is a bitmap editor for the OS/2 and eComStation Presentation Manager. It can perform any of the functions of the GBM package, which operate on a single bitmap. It directly uses GBM.DLL and thus can show all bitmap file formats supported by it.
It has full online context sensitive help, and an undo option. Interaction with the PM printer and clipboard is possible also. The PM Desktop may also be snapshotted. Also included is export to Metafile capability.
GBMV2 uses the GBMDLG (GBM file dialog) library when the user
is required to provide bitmap filenames.
GBMV2 can use error-diffusion or halftoning to improve the quality
of image display.
Bitmaps will be show in original size only. Zooming in or out is not yet supported.
usage: gbmv2 [fn.ext{,opt}] fn.ext{,opt} input filename (with any format specific options) bitmap formats and options as before
Just unzip the GBMOS2PM package and copy the gbmv2.exe
,
gbmv2.hlp
, gbmdlg.dll
and gbmdlg.hlp
files into a directory somewhere.
If you've already got the GBMOS2 package installed into a directory, you might as well put these new files in there too.
GBMV2 needs gbm.dll
which is part of the GBMOS2 package.
Either copy it into the same directory as gbmv2.exe
or to
a directory defined in LIBPATH in the CONFIG.SYS.
