PICEM is a general purpose picture view program which also allows you to
adjust the brightness and contrast in your pictures and save them back out.
PICEM is not shareware, it is freeware, meaning that you can copy and
distribute PICEM on a non-profit basis (you cannot sell it).
.PIC images are PC Paint and PICTOR images. PC Paint is published by MSC
tech, (previously named "Mouse Systems"). PICTOR is the Paint program
which is part of the GRASP package published by Paul Mace Software.
.PCX images are PC Paintbrush format images. PC Paintbrush is published
by Z-Soft.
.GIF images are Graphics Interchange Format, a generalized picture format
supported by Compuserve, The PICS Forum on Compuserve is one of the
best places to obtain an assortment of image files including some
stunning hiresolution 256 color images (ideal for VGA and SuperVGA
cards).
For any bug reports I can be contacted on CIS (Compuserve) ID:73307,606 in
the PICS Forum, To enter the PICS forum on Compuserve just type "GO PICS"
from any prompt.
