I am making a test boot disk for Y2K testing and would like to display a graphic as a welcome screen before the test commences. I am struggling to work out how to do this. Any tips eg. Small footprint s/w to display an image from DOS would be much appreciated

Hi, Off hand pcx.exe will display a pcx. Gif.exe will convert a gif to a exacutable. Both will work on the command line: Example cls @echo off pcx my.pcx :: Displays a pcx my.exe :: Displays a converted gif. You must of course press a key to continue as neither will work with a timer. It has been some time but gif.exe was going to include a timer and a means of positioning the image using x and y coords. But I have not downloaded their latest version. Hope this is of some help. Hmmm gif.exe can be found just about any where. Pcx.exe may be difficult.....(Made by "Another Company") and was included in a program called "Writters Dream". 1984? W/D made electronic books on floppy disk........ I have a copy of w/d so if you want to use a pcx let me know. World Library

Excellent. GIFEXE was just the job. Thankyou very much for your direction. David Whettingsteel
