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. >I think this is the best shareware jpg viwer around if this problem can >be resolved. Yeah... it does show a lot of promise. dk

Here's a solution: ==================== From: Chris Boyd <clb@hp835.mitek.com> try cview <gif-file> -j85 ==================== It doesn't follow the documented syntax, but it works. Thanks Chris. dk

Does anyone know if this available on Simtel-20 or Garbo as I need a "fresh" copy with all the documentation. (I haven't got FTP access so anything of this sort has to be via nn or maill-server.) I also need to know if the associated file with all the VESA drivers is at one of the above locations. Thanks in advance Conor Macken -- ________________________________________________________________________ | E-mail to : cmacken@unix2.tcd.ie | Indecision, clouds my vision, | | (I've only got one account.
