I recently had someone scan some pictures and attach them to an e-mail
message.  I saved them to a file and now I would like to view them. How do
I go about doing that?  Please help, they are pictures of my new nephew.
Thank you, Janice

Your "new" nephew? What happened to the old one? *argl* 

Ok, the answer depends on the OS you're using. 
For Dos, Dos 3.x, Dos95 and Dos NT, there's quite a few free- or shareware
viewers at
	http://www.yahoo.com
Check the software, viewers section. Depending on what you want to do with
the pictures, there are a couple of rather outstanding programs:

Lview 
	(versatile, fast, can r/w almost anything)
ViewPro 	
	(good for movie files >;->)
Thumbs Plus 
	(if you have a *lot* of pictures [/me thinks .o0(any1 trdng"?))
Search 
	(if you have a *lot* of pictures and want to make them accessible
	through www-pages).

For real OSs (u*ices, that is), there's, e.g.:

The Gimp
Image Magick
XView

Check your favourite search-engine for those, e.g.:
	http://www.metacrawler.com

What does that question have to do with pine? Why are there so many letters
in the answer...?

Cheers,
Robin
