 I am looking for a utility to view and/or to print graphic GEM and IMG files. 
I have PICSW7 which does this, but it won't display GEM/IMG files. Does anyone 
know the structure of these files?? Does anyone have a program to view/print these 
files?? Ideally I would like the program to be GDOS based so that I can print the 
files on my SLM804 printer, but I could use an experimental Epson emulator for the 
SLM804 if the program isn't GDOS based. Right now I have to load the files into 
either Easy Draw or Timework's Publisher ST to view or print them. And that is 
too sloooooowwwwww :-).

I just realized that I can build a list of files to  print using the OUTPRINT
program in EasyDRaw, but I would like the filename printed beneath the graphic,
and you can't do that with outprint. So, I still need a utility to view these
files.

If someone could send me the data structures of the GEM/IMG files I could probably 
write the program myself. I haven't seen any articles describing the internals
of these files.

So, please e-mail any responses!!
