- DESCRIPTION
- EGSShow is a viewing program for GIF and JPEG files on the EGS window
- system. This program is able to read the JPEG format as well as the GIF
- formats GIF87a, GIF89a and all future GIF files compatible with both of
- the above. The format of the file is detected automatically.
-
- The display window's open size is determined by the initial GIF or JPEG
- file and the maximum possible size on the EGS default screen. The picture
- itself is displayed in a scrolling gadget that lets you select the part
- you want to see.
-
- While reading the files, some status information about the picture is

- version 6 or higher.
