In no event shall Andrew Wm. Graham be liable for

this version of montage.exe.
---------------
Enclosed is a version of the ImageMagick utility montage.
INSTALLATION:

1) Place montage.exe in a directory on your path.

2) Install at least one TrueType font somewhere. If you have
WIN-OS2, then you have TrueType fonts installed. If you lack
TrueType fonts, one is included in this archive: verdana.exe.
If you have WIN-OS2, add this line to your config.sys file:

SET TT_FONT_PATH=\os2\mdos\winos2\system

If you lack WIN-OS2, then 

SET TT_FONT_PATH=wherever_verdana.ttf_is 

I have included a .cmd file that I use to create jpeg-format
thumbnails of all the jpegs in a directory. It's called
tnx120.cmd .

It works like this:

cd \wherever_images_are
tnx120 *

It grinds for awhile, and then produces a bunch of jpegs called
montage.1, montage.2, etc.  You'll have to rename them and give
them the .JPG extension yourself.

Or, if you're a REXX wizard, you can probably improve on my
batch file.

Options (there are many) are found in the man page montage.1 
(included).  Because this release does not require the presence 
of an X server, some of the options won't work.  If you need
X options, then install Holger Veit's XFree86 OS/2 port, and
use the XFree86/OS2 version of ImageMagick.

Enclosed please find a thumbnail picture I made using my batch
file and the enclosed little jpegs. 

You can test your install by typing 'maketest' in the directory
where you unzipped this archive.
