(ie, that one of them is clearly >better than the other two?). Well, they all have different advantages/disadvantages depending on what's important to you. VPIC and VUIMAGE are faster than CSHOW (all current versions). VUIMAGE can Zoom and Pan on any image, other two cannot Zoom, and panning is limited by memory. VPIC can convert between image formats - the other two cannot. VUIMAGE can print (scaled to any size selected by the user). CSHOW (non-registered) and VPIC dont. VPIC and CSHOW support more formats. VUIMAGE supports GIF/TIFF only (non-registered version). VPIC and VUIMAGE support slideshow (non-registered version). The list can go on... Please feel free to add/delete/modify/comment. What is best for one person is not necessarily the best for others. Venu P. Gopal UUCP: ..!att!cbnewsc!vgopal Internet: vgopal@cbnewsc.att.com
