          It did; it came with ms-paint. The reason those picture-viewers became so popular was "hands free slide shows".

                Thinking about it, there were loads of 'em back in the DOS days: "BRIEF - the Programmer's Editor", "XTree Gold", "Norton Utilities" (before they were sold to Symantec), "MASM", ... all damn good.

                I miss BRIEF, you could have all kinds of macros (written in a c-like script).

                          As far as I can recall it didn't read many format, including JPEG. I was fairly young and inexperienced at that time so I listened a lot to what others said - and they weren't experts, just tinkers.

                              At that time I had the 27 floppies version ;P I couldn't install nor Plus! nor OSR/2 due to lack of CD reader. Came the CD came Win98 came the crashes with the screensaver; reverted but to NT4. Lasted until Win98 SE, then skipped everything until XP. On the oldest PC I installed Win Me and I'm one of the only three people satisfied with it.
