The latest version of IMDISP available is 7.9.  The program plus documentation
is in the imdisp79.zip.

I'm one of the programmers for IMDISP, and I'm never tried an image
this large, and I'm glad to see it works.  I've programmed it so that
the image will be stored in extended or expanded memory, if it is available.
Otherwise, it will just access the image from the disk.

Pixel Pusher was written by Dan Stanfill at JPL. It is only available
through Cosmic (the clearing house for NASA software), but unfortunately
they charge something like $400 for it.
