- I personally use both Dyna-mate and Dyna-Show for those rare occasions
- that I actually look at Dynamic Hi-Res images. I like Dyna-Show's
- overscan support, while Dyna-mate's scrolling capability and ability to
- handle odd image sizes is nice.
-
- Not all iff images can be viewed with Mostra, however. If I'm not mis-
- taken, only the most recent version (1.07) can view PCHG images. As you
- noted above, this version does not have the indirect support for dynamic
- hi-res that the previous versions do. Nevertheless, Mostra is the best
- viewer for the Amiga, IMHO.
