This is a binary installation package for the Python Imaging Library, 
v1.1.2, on OS/2.  It requires the OS/2+EMX port of Python 2.2 to be 
useful.  For more information about PIL, including copyright and 
licence particulars, see the file README.PIL.

To install, change into the directory containing the unpacked contents 
of this archive and execute the install.cmd batch file.  InfoZip's 
unzip.exe must be available on the path for the installation to 
succeed.

This PIL port includes JPEG, PNG and ZIP support, but doesn't support 
Tkinter or SANE.  The only external dependancy, other than the Python 
interpreter, is the Z.DLL from Hung-Chi Chu's port of ZLIB 1.1.3.  If 
you are able to use the zlib module in the Python port, then the Z.DLL 
already in place on your system is probably OK.  Z.DLL on my system is 
45,061 bytes, dated 22/1/99.

The file Imaging-1.1.2-os2emx.patch includes all makefile and source 
patches made to build this port, along with a rudimentary DistUtils 
setup.py script for building/installing the PIL extension package.  
The imaging library ("libimaging" - actually imaging.[a|lib]) still 
needs to be built using the patched makefile in the libImaging 
subdirectory.  Ports of the IJG JPEG-6b and PNG v1.0.12 libraries are 
available separately (see http://www.andymac.org/libraries.html).

The Scripts subdirectory of this archive contains copies of the example 
scripts from the Scripts subdirectory of the original source archive. 

Please let me know if you encounter any problems with the installation 
package - bug reports about PIL should be sent to the Image-SIG mailing 
list (image-sig@python.org, for info about subscribing see README.PIL).  

PLEASE NOTE: Pythonware _DON'T_ provide commercial support for this OS/2 
PIL port, and I'm not in a position to do so either.

This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty.
In no event will the packager be held liable for any damages arising from 
the use of the software.
