This disk contains various images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope,
stored in JPEG (.JPG) format.
This is a very compact format, which allows many more images to be
fitted onto each floppy disk. You will need an image viewer to see
these, such as the excellent shareware proggram, PAINT SHOP PRO,
which will also allow you to enhance the images, convert them to
wallpaper, rescale them and much more.
Alternatively WECJ.EXE is a simple Windows JPEG viewer - just
run it to install it. You may then want to give it an icon by
locating the installed WECJ.EXE in file manager, and dragging it
to a program manager group. Windows 95 users can drag with the
right mouse button after locating it with the FIND command, and
then selecting CREATE SHORTCUT.
You will also find a selection of text files on this floppy disk,
covering the press releases from NASA to go with the images, and
the background text.
Any text viewer will show these, such as the DOS EDIT program,
Windows notepad, or Windows 95 Wordpad.
