Manipulation Program (GIMP) to the new BeOS an operating system
designed for digital media applications on desktop computers and
Internet appliances. This application will bring powerful image
editing and creation tools solutions to the BeOS desktopBeOS users.

further, which will increase it’s user base on all platforms. We
will be contributing code and user testing to the free software
