Hi,
Is there a PD or shareware program that will present images as a slide
show? The images can be in any graphic format but preferably GIF. I have
examined a few programs such as Cinema and various image viewers with a slide
show feature. However, they all seem not to have the ability to easily go
backwards in slide order. This is such a simple and obvious feature that I'm
sure someone has implemented a program which includes this ability.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

The images can be in any graphic format but preferably GIF. Yes there are several. In the Simtel20 archives, directory pd1:<msdos.gif>, there are for instance CSHOW, VPIC, and VUIMG. Of these I prefer CSHOW for slide shows, because it gives me most options for editing a show script. -- Ake Knutsson email: knut@tts.lth.se Dept. of Communication Systems ..!uunet!tts.lth.se!knut Lund Institute of Technology, SWEDEN fax: +46 46 145823

Thanks to those who replied to my request for a slide show program. Most
replies told me to look at CSHOW. However, I have looked at this program and
as far as I can see, it does not support my main requirement of the program.
Namely, to display the 'slides' in both directions, not just forwards. So that
if a viewer wishes to see a slide that has previously been shown, it is
possible to pass backwards to that 'slide' rather than having to go through
all the 'slides'and loop back to the required slide. Please let me know if I
have over looked something.
Thanks again,
Bob.
