pCD, a Photo CD viewer, has been submitted to sonata.cc.purdue.edu.
It's in /pub/next/submissions. An excerpt from pCD.README says,

Thanks to Hadmut Danisch of the University of Karlsruhe, who deciphered Kodak's 
Photo CD file format by reverse engineering, I have been able to put together a 
Photo CD viewer for the NeXT.  The app ain't perfect and there still lurks a 
bug or two, but I wanted get it out to beat the Christmas rush.  In addition to
my source code for the user interface, I have included Hadmut's original 
software, hpcdtoppm (v0.3).

P.S.  Be sure to take the file pCD.tar.Z.TAKEME.  It's got a few improvements
over pCD.tar.Z.   Also, for the Photo CD-disadvantaged, there's a pseudo CD
in photo_cd.tar.Z.  It has a single image.
