[news.newusers.questions] How do a view a GIF file?

vijay@cscaza.ncsu.edu (Vijay Srinivasan) (01/19/90)

	I am working on a system running Ultrix 3.0 and would like to
know how I can view some GIF files that I have downloaded. I tried
sending these files to my IBM PC and then used the program called cshow
to view them, but nothing showed up on the screen. Cshow lets me view
other GIF files that I have downloaded from BBSes. 

	Is there a way to view the file without sending it to my PC?
That is, straight from the machine I am currently logged on to. I use
either a vt100 or an xterm.....

Thanks in advance,
Vijay Srinivasan
