Well, I found a program that does the trick. SHR View 3.1 will load
APF pics up to 4096x4096, as well as almost any other SHR format.
It'll load $C1 uncompressed screens, $C0 auxtype 0-2 compressed
pictures, the 3200color formats (both compressed and uncompressed) and
a few more. Pretty neat, considering that it's a P8 program. The only
problem (for me at least) is that it's a slideshow program. You can't
really pick what picture you want to see. It'll show all the pictures
in the current prefix (which you can't change once you start the
program). Also, it kills the system (sliding apple thing) if it can't
find the right disk, so it's a little difficult to use on a one drive
system... You have put the program on the disk containing your pictures
for it to work.

It does it's job very well though... you can configure many of the
slideshow options, use the mouse to scroll through a picture, and a
couple of other neat things. However, it's too much of a hassle for
me... I'll stick with my own little APF only viewer.

If you get this program and like it, send the author the shareware
fee! Support shareware!
