Description of the Programs
---------------------------

'zgv' is a viewer which views GIF87a, GIF89a, JPEG/JFIF and
PBM/PGM/PPM files on a standard VGA and most SVGAs, with a full-screen
file selector front-end. It can also be used as a simple command, with
'zgv filename', which bypasses the front-end. There are now other
options; check the man page, or try 'zgv -h' for details.

'tnpic' produces a JPEG file containing small versions (thumbnails) of
other picture files. Once the programs are installed, do 'man tnpic'
for more details. (Or if they aren't installed, you could do 'nroff
-man tnpic.1 | less'.) Tnpic does not yet support P?M files. Tnpic has
not been tested for this release, and may be removed in future.


You should read the man pages for further details.



If you like zgv, it would be nice if you could send me a postcard.
Dumping a pile of postcards from users on a potential employer's desk
might help convince them of my worth. Yeah, some chance, but it's a
nice theory. :-)
