Subject: [TUHS] earliest paint program for X
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2016 18:52:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADxT5N7AzHvzfmFc5xjgQAxovVjP-P1Numn=qPsa7cvVwaa1hg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Ok, I hope this question isn't too off-topic...

I was looking through the X10R3 source tree trying to find the
earliest paint program for X. I wasn't able to see anything that
looked like a paint program.

Xpaint might be the oldest, wikipedia says the first version appeared in 1989.

Searching for xpaint on tuhs returned no matches, but I saw that
4.3BSD-Tahoe had some old X programs but nothing listed there seemed
to be a paint program.

Maybe xgedit? It's listed as a "simple graphic editor for the X window
system", but I don't know if it really qualifies as a paint program.
