I'm looking for a public domain program (if it exists) that pops a .bmp or .pcx file directly to the screen, straight from clicking an icon. Is there something like that out there? Please let me know.. Cheers Ulrich

Is there >something like that out there? Please let me know.. >Cheers Ulrich There are a couple of things you could do. One, in the File Manager, set the File Associate... entry for .GIF, .BMP, & .PCX files to a viewer program like WinGIF. Thus when you double click on the file name the program will run and load the picture. You can set WinGIF to automatically minimize while loading pictures, or you can manually minimize it to an icon after the picture is loaded. Now, whenever you want to "pop up" the loaded picture, just double click on the WinGIF icon. Hope this helps some, Tim Forsyth P.S. WinGIF can be found on cica.cica.indiana.edu in the directory pub/pc/win3/bmp/util in file wingif10.zip. I don't know where you could find it in the southern hemisphere. -- Tim Forsyth, Intel Corp., OEM Products Division, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA Internet: tim@int13.intel.com or Tim_Forsyth@ccm.hf.intel.com CompuServe: 74040,2712 (checked once a week)
