I'm PD program to display all my IFF files. I am particularly interested in those that can handle SHAM files properly. Please avoid mentioning utilities which are 2.0-only, as I am still trapped in my little A1000/v1.3 world. I'd also appreciate it if you could point me to an ftp site or Fish Disk where the utility is available. Thanks for your help! -- Jack Holt genoa@athena.mit.edu

For "PD" IFF/SHAM viewers, my favorite is SuperView 3.1 by David Grothe. It offers a small residentable (is that a word?) program (just over 10K) that will show IFF anims, SHAMs, SLOPs (and optimized SHAM to save processor over- head), and any color cycling pics. It is very friendly. You can move the image around to center it on your screen. Then you can bring up an info screen that will let you make a note of the position. Then you can imbed the position into the comment for that file and it will be automatically placed where you want it every time you view it. You can also imbed any other command line arguments into that comment field so that you can kill/ enable colorcycling or even make an icon that shows all the IFFs in a directory (something else SV will do). SV doesn't view Dynamic pictures, however it will recognize them and, with the script included for 2.0 and 1.3, call Dyna-Show to view it. Thus you only have to type one name to view ANY picture your heard desires to. I put SV 3.1 up on ab20. Check out the graphics section. Rick Tillery (drtiller@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu)
