Wow, I was to South America? Interesting to know. :-)

I in fact answered Susan's mail very delayed, and when I did, I allowed her
to use my little programs for Debian (they could have been GPLed all the
time, but I really didn't know better when I hacked them up).
I also pointed Susan to a collegue of mine, Ingo Wilken, who is sort-of trying
to maintain netpbm since it was abandoned by this swedish guy whose names
escapes me at the moment..anyway, Ingo wants to release a new netpbm some
day, and I believe it will help quite a lot if people push him a bit..
that's at least what I have been doing for the last 8 weeks, without much
success so far. :-}
