Does anyone know of a program that displays a picture (.pcx or whatever) (rather than a pattern) as the background (a.l.a. Mac) in Windows? Thanks, Ross Porter rossp@calvin.cs.mcgill.ca

The bundled "picture" is, of course, a big "HdC". The companion HdC Windows Express is also worth getting.

I think the guy used one of the hDC utilities, perhaps hDC Windows Manager. ___ Michael B.
