There's three ways I know of to view Amiga pix on the PC;

1) Just run Dpaint II (PC Version) and copy the files over w/Dos-2-Dos
2) Run my PCView display program - it's on a Fish disk
3) Get yourself a copy of the program called "Graphics Transformer", by
   IMSI; it's a PC program that converts almost anything to anything
   else. A more expensive version of the same thing goes by the name of
   "HiJaak". It handles IFF pics, PC pics and Max pics.
