[arachne] Re: ROBERTO: UPDATED VERSION OF PICTVIEW FOR DOS

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

I use and used for years PICTURE VIEWER = PV.EXE a German
viewer/converter thats views almost every picture format and any
viewable format can be converted to less obscure formats like .GIF,
.JPG, .BMP, .PNG, etc.

Large pictures are no problem... I never encountered a lack of memory.

Cheap share ware and the unregistered version works FB.
