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?
