I must disagree with Dan here - Paint only works with BMP files, which don't
load in browsers. Typical idiocy on the part of Windows, but something to be
aware of.

ACDsee sounds good, must check it out. I use Paint Shop Pro for heavy-duty
graphics work, but I also recommend IrfanView: doesn't have the batch-
processing capability but does basic image manipulation on single files. Good
viewer/slideshow too. Very small program, easy to use, and freeware to boot.
Hope this helps!

| (...) Windown 98 version of Paint works with JPG and GIF files. Win 95 version probably doesn't. The last time I checked, IE5 displays bitmaps. But if you want to convert them to JPG, ACDsee has a converter also. (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
