CSHOW (at least the more recent versions) can display GIF files whose
size is greater than the physical screen.  However, you can only view one chunk
at a time.  After CSHOW loads the image, use the arrow keys to view other
portions.  In some cases CSHOW will not load extremely large .GIF files due
to insufficient memory.  However, you should have no problem with 768x1024x256,
provided you have a VGA and 640K of free memory.
