What's the > Portable Presenter? Recently it was brought under my attention that there is a good tool available for PowerPoint-like presentations: GPP, the GNU portable Presenter. It is written in Perl+Tk and what I've seen so far is quite impressive. The presenter is a Perl module, the presentation itself is a small Perl program. You can find GPP on http://www.dhp.nl/~gpp . The current version, 0.96, requires a recent Perl/Tk, Time::Hires (CPAN), X11::Protocol (CPAN), Image::Magick 2.28 (CPAN) and ImageMagick-2.2.8 (http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html). (Alternatively, ImageMagick is 2.2.9 with Image::Magic version 2.29). -- Johan
