This seems to be a popular request. I highly recommend Display. It converts to and from just about any format there is (More formats than PaintShop Pro, including ANSI and ASCII conversion! It also plays CDs and movie files.) I assume it is still at this URL: http://www.ualberta.ca/~crnelson/display.html -- | / / />___________________ +==Apple // Forever==+ |___ _____ M#M#M#||___________________---__ +-37th Wisest Wizard-+ | \ \ / #M#M#M||___________________--- +- Edhel Iaur, Esq. -+ | / / \_/ \> http://www.wco.com/~3d5d1wsw/US-A2WUG/FOUNDING.MEMBERS/HOME.PAGES/EDHEL

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 ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ <http://weber.u.washington.edu/~whatfer/jonjen.html> Our page. _ _ __ __ Wagner Codes: _| \_) |_ (_/ _| a+--f--e--d-b++g+w+v (_ _ _) _ (_ Puzzle |_( )_|__( >__| By Jon and Randy R. |_ _| |_ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7889 _) |_ _( mailto:wha...@u.washington.edu /_ _|_ ___ | Windows 95, Micron 133mhz, Seattle USA (_< (_) ^ ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
