	Well there is one obvious solution to this problem,  part of your
standard delivery of software is X11 R4,  if you load this and run the Xserver
you use one of several image viewing programs delivered in the XCONTRIB
product that you also get for free.  If you don't want to run X then I do
have a hacked around version of XGIF which will display a gif image using an
Environ V (native screen manager) window.  A good point to raise here though
is the lack of bitplanes on a 120 (5)  which very much limits the gif images
that you can display.  Please send me  mail if you want the source for an
Environ V viewer,  it is rather flakey and I don't plan on debugging it soon !!
