Okay, you graphics types... I'm trying to write a Turbo
Pascal 5.5 program to identify the green algae and then
display an image of the identified species. I've got the
key written for the identification process but since I'm
not a pro I don't know how to write a graphics file viewing
routine to view GIF or PCX files within Pascal. I thought
I'd use TP's EXEC procedure to spawn a child process and
run FASTGIF to display the approriate GIF file. Dirty
solution, but it would suffice. Trouble is the routine
is not working. Can anyone offer suggestions???

Thanks in advance.
