Thanks for PCVIEW. I have a Bridgeboard and IBMs at work. I do not own DP III so your program is STILL useful to me! Also there is a HAM to VGA program out there now too! I think it is HAMVGA.xxx, it runs a bit slow but the output is not too bad. I usually convert my HAMs to GIFs and then show them on IBMs... -- Guy Dandrea, Network Systems Corp. // guy@nsco.network.com #129.191.1.1 \\ // 7600 Boone Ave No, Mpls.

What I meant was HAM images on a VGA card <SVGA>! heh heh I suppose I should give Pc-View a break 'cause it DID say it was only EGA! Is there anything out there <possibly by you?> to show 640x400 or greater IFF's on an IBM? Not including DPAINT!!! Later! And, thanks for writing Pc-View! I used it alot after I had sold my Amiga 1000 and was waiting to get my 2000! On my 386sx.
