Re Katharina Klemperer's request for a good viewer...
Check out ACDSee, a straightforward, simple, FAST shareware viewer. I
mean fast, in that it's speedy real-time viewing, not the "decoding,
decoding, decoding..." wait for some products. You can select dozens,
hundreds of images to view, from directory listings; you can delect
selected items; you can copy or move items you've selected; etc.
Shareware available at lots of places. Contact them at:
