Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for looking at the package.

Although these images were created using GIMP, I don't think the XCF
files (if they even exist) are any more "preferred" than the PNG files
in the package. Those images are just screenshots of the windows console
with no apparent modifications made to them. So I presume that the only
use of GIMP in this was converting the result to PNG format - so any XCF
files won't give you any more over importing the PNG file anyway.
