Under Windows, LView Pro let's you open multiple files as a "slide show"
which can either go to the next image on a mouse click or after a set
number of seconds. To my knowledge, it can do a multiple open command on a
very large number of files. It's also the fastest bitmap rendering program
I have seen in Windows. It's shareware with a cheap registration fee, and
downloadable from ftp://ftp.std.com/ftp/vendors/mmedia
Minor caveat: TIFF being the semi-standard it is, LView Pro is unable to
open TIFFs created with PhotoShop (on my system at least). I suppose that
means there are other apps out there creating TIFFs that it won't open.
