- I looked at the README file for viewer and I don't think it is a viewer. It will
- put the pieces of a USENET image together and run a viewer, xloadimage by default.

- I think it means to edit the Makefile and config.h and make change for your system.
- If you just want to view images then get something like xloadimage, which your
- "viewer" uses by default so you'll have to get it any way. It is available
- by anonymous ftp at export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib and mirror sites.
