John - get IrfanView. Aside from being the best multimedia player/viewer around, it's free! And it reads PCX format, which is an old paintbrush format.
Thanks, but I tried 'em all on my awkward PCX. Eventually Paul took a look at it, and pointed out where the problem was. My book's author had goofed, and coded the PCX files in a non-standard fashion. Applying Pauls fix to my PCX files allows them to be read by almost *any* player/viewer...including that incorporated in WIN Me. Now I'm trying to understand why this fix to individual files seemingly can't be coded into the PCX write procedure. Without screwing up the image, that is. All good clean fun! John W.
