Zunk

Zunk

Zunk was an early version of a digital image editor. It was written in 1983 by Gerard Holzmann in the Bell Labs Unix group and inspired by the vismon program. It displayed 48x48 bitmap faces on the jerq bitmap terminal which had been designed by Bart Locanthi and Rob Pike (a predecessor of AT&T's DMD5620 terminal).

Due to the large number of options it had, Zunk also became known as the "swiss army knife" of image editing. It later became the pico image editor, as documented in a first book on the digital darkroom from 1988 — now out of print, but viewable online at [http://spinroot.com/pico http://spinroot.com/pico]
