- I assume that you mean they're sitting on your PC. That's the first
- step. (And I assume that you remembered that they're binary.) Do you
- have pkunzip? You'll need it to unzip cshow. (I'm assuming that you got
- it from the list ftp stuff and thus that it's still zipped.) After
- unzipping it, enter 'cshow', highlight the .gif file, and hit <enter>.
- Then hit space bar.

-
- Cshow is a program for viewing gifs. You don't need a graphics program.

-
- Make sure there's a file named cshow.exe in the same directory with the
- gif you want to view. Then run it. :-)
