    This is all rather moot since SHRView, as the name implies, is a
graphic _viewer_ program and not a convertor. :)

    It's been several years since I've last used SHRView, but I recall 
it used the very same routines for viewing GIF as Prism, and Prism is
definitely *not* faster than Convert 3200. Also worth mentioning is
neither Prism or SHRView support handling of JPEG images.
