I was finally able to get the old thing up and running briefly long enough
to get in contact with Vince DeMarco who came through in a pinch.  Seems that
there were some changes made that screwed up the old version.  This is from
the change log in the new source code that Vince sent me.

	* Version 2.3.1 made IT work again under 3.0 the problem was in
	the displayImage method of Image.m, the bitsPerRow value passed
	to the NXBitMapImageRep should be 0 not xsize*8. Seems like NeXT
	broke this in 3.0 as it used to work under 2.X.

>So, has anybody heard of a version of RLEViewer that will run under 3.0?

The new version works quite nicely, but I'm not sure what Vince plans to
do with the patch as of yet.  He can be contacted at vince@whatnxt.cuc.ab.ca
if anybody's interested.

Peace
