Hi, It sure is. I am trying it out now. It is pretty neat. It is DOS and
it loads a picture faster than my windows 95. I haven't figured out how to
delete a gif from inside Display yet but the colors are superb and it
gives me different choices on tones and bits to view the picture in. Also
sizing is not as specific as I like but maybe I can size it more specific
but haven't learned how yet. Any pointers or tricks you use? I am not sure
if I should get Paint Shop Pro for xmas or not. I also haven't figured out
how to view .txt files yet either but I'm fiddling with it and it seems
stable so far. cheers, Jon Melusky
