Is it a desk accessory or a program? It's both! Simply change
the extension to .PRG to run it as a program or .ACC to run as an
accessory or simply load it into MultiDesk by Charles F. Johnson
of CodeHead Software.
This is an updated version of a desk accessory I wrote back in
1988. It will load .IMG, MacPaint, Degas Elite P?3 files as well
as the .CL? files that DTPaint uses for its Lasso, Jack Knife, and
Block tools.
AS A PROGRAM
You can load pictures by selecting from the menu under "File" or
using their respective key-codes: [alt] i, m, p, c. You do not
have to worry about memory allocation since Image Viewer handles
all of that.
AS A DESK ACCESSORY
You do not have to use a menu to select a file, since no menu is
available, and you can't use the key-codes except when the Image
Viewer window is active so [alt] i, m, p, c are pretty useless.
When the DA first comes up, you will have to allocate some memory
for it. The bottom line is 32K bytes (enough for a .P?3 picture),
but the default is set to 60K which will hold a MacPaint picture.
Memory will be taken from the pool that you have allocated for the
the picture. If you want to release the memory that you have
allocated then press [alt] d (remember to have the Image Viewer
window active).
OTHER FEATURES
The cursor arrow keys at the left of the main keyboard will let
you scroll pictures at a rate of 25 pixels per press. The info
bar will show you the picture's dimensions and resolution (only
meaningful for the .IMG pictures).
What more could you want???
Limitations:
Only one window at a time. Sorry about that. As soon as I
finish my window handling routine, I will improve this.
"What about other picture formats?" What about 'em? Perhaps, in
the future, I will add other formats.

Image Viewer is FREEWARE as all "viewers" should be so go ahead
and spread it around! However, it is copyrighted 1988-1990 by
