- You don't mention a machine to run it on, but a good program is
- available in the same archive. Ron Baalke's program is in
- pub/SPACE/SOFTWARE or pub/SPACE/PROGRAMS (I haven't been in there in a
- while to look, and am not sure if the particular directories are all
- caps, all small or mixed case). It's called Imdisp**, where the *'s
- indicate latest version. I've used it on my 8086 to decent viewing,
- and all I've got is EGA. On a 386 or 486 with VGA it's bound to be
- much better.
