Yup, that was the reason for doing this pps to exe conversion.
A lot of users object to being forced to have to dl and install a viewer to
see
a pps sent to them. Depending on how complex your show has to be, I offer
an easier, simpler alternative to Powerpoint that suits many people. A
completely stand alone slide presentation that requires no install. Check
out VixLifetips to give you a basic idea, if you want.

I make these for people for as little as $20.
They send me their images, text, music, whatever.
I can embed links too.
