- Well, there's ImageMagick, but xv looks groovier, and they're about the
- same, really...
-
- if you can do without X, there's dpg-view, but it only does up to about
- 320x400 or something (no SVGA, only tweaked VGA at most)...
-
- I can't say it bothers me, really - I've got a 386dx-25 with 8mb as well,
- and, now that I think of it, yeah, there is a pause, but it's about as good
- as you'll get on these machines anyway, I guess.
- The only reason (more or less) that DOS gif viewers are faster is that
- they've got nothing better to do at the same time :)
-
- Enjoy !
