Well, I'm actually not using Plan9 - I'm using Inferno, and don't have the
programs you're talking about. I just said Plan9 so as to not be shouted at
for using the wrong newsgroup! I've tried to use the imagefile Module in my
limbo programs to load jpegs, but I can't figure out how to use it. I only
started learning Limbo 2 days ago, and I'm sure everyone will be quick to
tell me I should start from the beginning of the manual, but I like to learn
quickly, by trial and error, and this method works for me. And programs are
so dull without graphics, so I started there.

Anyway, are these jpg programs .dis files? Can they be sent to me and run
under inferno?

Thanks for any advice

Matt
