To view photos and cutlines
Photos are provided in AP-standard JPEG format (1998 Telethon Photos are offered in both JPEG and TIF formats) and can be viewed with any JPEG-supported program. Photos were 
scanned and saved using Adobe Photoshop. Photo files should be opened from within your JPEG-
supported program (such as Word, Photoshop, Quark, etc.), as opposed to double clicking on the file 
itself. Cutlines are in the CD-Rom's Text folder.
