Can anyone recommend a picture viewer for DOS? I need it for a very rudimentary purpose: To display a single image, in either JPG, PNG, or GIF format, in DOS. The simpler, the better! The exact environment can be any version of MS-DOS 6.22 up, or FreeDOS 1.0. Freeware is preferred, but at this point, I'll consider anything reasonable.

The reason I am asking this question here is that I've tried a bunch of viewers already, and can't get a single one to work.

Well, I don't know what your difficulty is - things "don't work" in a number of ways, and the key to troubleshooting is in the details. As a description, "didn't work" leaves a lot to be desired - much like the posters who cheerfully report: "I got an error message" (and leave it at that) If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond, cleverly --Donald Rumsfeld

Thanks for the smartassy response. No kidding "didn't work" isn't descriptive. I realize that. The reason I didn't elaborate is that I don't care to--I need something that "just works, always". It's a simple DOS application, it should simply require "exename imagename" to work...and other people I support will be running it. I can't have them saying "It doesn't work". Because, well, then I'd be in a position to be as snarky as you were, and I just couldn't deal with that sort of irony.

Oh boy! Well, LXPic should work even for those confused about what we discuss here. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Salutations, Michel Samson a/s Bicéphale

Heh - 'snarky' you say? For someone who's made so very many posts here, why is it you can't even figure out what question to ask?? You're obviously not looking for DOS viewers, since you claim to have tried a variety Here's a clue: they all work, the problem is pretty obviously on your end "The reason I didn't elaborate is that I don't care to" Don't sweat it, 'Mr support' - I've a low tolerance for the dim - even less when they rear up on their hind legs with 'attitude' (or a feeble attempt at such) That would be ironical indeed if folks were actually looking to you for answers - - good luck with that If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond, cleverly --Donald Rumsfeld
