RE: viewers

since I started this let me explain.

I'm not netted with linux yet..
I don't have a graphic head on the VMS hardware.
So PC is the platform of choice running Windows3..


This means that freeware or shareware must run win3.1 and not win95.
Acrobat, FullView and PSP are amoung the viewers I happen to have.
The Highgate page uses one of two viewers that are available as shareware
but only for win95... or for $100 I can get teh version that also runs
under win31. Inshort there is no free viewer that would not cost less
than the cost of having a 8e prinst copied professionally. Additionally
since the tiffs are unviewable at resonable cost even an unreasonable
viewer like acrobat is quite acceptable.

Actually using w31 and acrobat is pretty snappy. Keep in mind that a slow
viewer beats none at all.
