Hi Joe,

     I have reinstituted pixmap support for the GCW driver in CVS.  I need
to do a little more testing and documenting, but all going well this
should appear in the next development release (early next week).

     Thanks again for your feedback.  It is nice to know that people are
finding this new driver useful.

Cheers,
Tom
