- You don't say what platform you're on -- VMS or Unix-based?
-
- If it's VMS, there is a primitive GIF viewer in DECW$EXAMPLES named
- PICT.EXE -- you use it by defining a symbol:
-
- $ pict :== $decw$examples:pict
-
- $ pict filename.gif
-
- Several fancier GIF viewers have also been ported to VMS.
-
- If you're on Unix, it should be pretty easy to get hold of a copy
- of a Gif viewer by FTP or mail server -- versions ported to VMS are
- slightly less common.
