- DESCRIPTION : Small CLI utility to display icon images.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~ A picture viewer is not required. KIS opens
- a window and displays either one or both
- images of an icon. If you choose to display
- only one image at a time, you can toggle
- between them with the spacebar. To close
- the window, press the close-gadget or press
- ESC. Handy if you use the BORDERLESS option.
-
-
- INSTALLATION: No special installation is required.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ You could put KIS in a directory that
- is in the Path, like SYS:c.
-
- REQUIREMENTS: Any Amiga.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ KS 2.04 and up
- CLI only
