great ... ever tried to compile gem on win32? i gave up :-(
no ... but as a hack you could try to use pix_multiimage or pix_buffer ...
well, with pix_multiimage, i'd have to to change the names of the files, with pix_buffer, i'd have to use the open message, that's undocumented and (i just had a look at the cvs logs) that's not in the v0_90 branch ...
cheers ... tim
