I ran across another problem.  I was checking out its command-line file 
conversion capability (doing some time trials) and the convert-to-jpg one 
would not work at all.  It kept returning the message "no image to save,"
as if it could not find the file.  I got the same response even when I
used full pathnames.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Specifically, 
try the following
   cview -j85 <gif_file>
where <gif_file> is any gif file in the directory.

Yeah... it does show a lot of promise.
