GBMV2 - A bitmap editor for OS/2 and eComStation

Introduction

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.

GBMV2 command line options

  usage: gbmv2 [fn.ext{,opt}]
         fn.ext{,opt}   input filename (with any format specific options)
                        bitmap formats and options as before

Installing GBMV2

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.
