There are two possible command line options. You can specify

For example: joeview c:\gifs\hooters.gif
The other command line option is to create a Floyd Steinberg
Dithered bitmap. The main purpose of this option is so that you
can create background images for your desktop or lockup
screens. When you received this copy of JoeView, one of the files included
should have been a REXX script to randomly generate background
images using this command line option. The format of the command is
joeview -b input_file output_file or joeview -bs input_file
output_file. You should specify drives and paths for the input
and output files. The input file can be in any file format the
JoeView normally reads. The output file will always be an OS2
2.0 format bitmap. The "-b" option causes JoeView to perform the
dithering at full CPU utilization. As the process is very CPU
intensive, the "-bs" option is included. This option is meant to
mean -b slow. Basically it puts JoeView in a low priority
mode that causes the operation to take considerably longer than
if you use "-b" but you'll find that your machine is much more
usefull while the process is running.
JoeView will not be visible when this option is invoked.
