You don't say what platform you're on -- VMS or Unix-based? If it's VMS, there is a primitive GIF viewer in DECW$EXAMPLES named PICT.EXE -- you use it by defining a symbol: $ pict :== $decw$examples:pict $ pict filename.gif Several fancier GIF viewers have also been ported to VMS. If you're on Unix, it should be pretty easy to get hold of a copy of a Gif viewer by FTP or mail server -- versions ported to VMS are slightly less common. Bruce C. Wright
