Hi at all,
i've ask to Jan Patera, the developper if pictview image converter for 
dos when release a new version of pictview for dos.
The reply is : if someone ask me , i develop a new release..

the adress is : Jan Patera    mail : patera@xxxxxxxxxxxx

I suggest write to Jan for a new vesion, because in the last time very 
few dos program are devlopping or upgraded.

In atachment the reply of Jan at my mail

Hi Roberto,

Unfortunately the question is not whether I *want* but whether I 
*can*.
It has been years since PictView for DOS was successfully compiled
last time. It has been years since my DOS machine died.
About releasing source code: it contains a lot of know-how and most
of it is used in today's commercial (non-DOS) versions of PictView.
Plus there are many licensed (paying) users of PictView, including
the DOS versions, that prevent me from releasing the source code
public. However, after several years of being very busy, I should have
plenty of time in late summer. I will try to resurrect PictView for 
DOS,
time to time I receive requests for it. I will keep you posted.

-- Jan
