Compilation should be straightforward. Check compile.readme, or run compile_shim.sh. shim Is a simple command line utility to show graphical images of various formats. It uses the SDL and SDL_image libraries. Use for more information, use to find out version information. Alternatively check http://home.earthlink.net/~pegasosppc, there the shim source files can also be found. The author can be emailed at: pegasosppc@earthlink.net I have released this under the GPL so it may be useful for others, for example to see how to write an SDL program, implement commandline arguments, to extend it etc. It is fairly simple, basic and straightforward. Because of that some (obvious) things have not been done, or have been done differently. Known issues: - There is no recursive directory scanning, the program stupidly reports directories as files it can not display. I did not feel like fixing it. And the program is quite right actually ;-) - When used on morphos shim somehow doesn't seem to recognise morphos' shell's wildcard(#?) correctly. Again I did not feel like fixing it (I don't even know why it happens). Enjoy ;-) Version history 1.0 - Initial release 1.0.1 - Fixed continuous loop bug, happened with -as options and if all files gave errors.
