: SHR.VIEW is a Prods8 based SYS program.

But it also _requires_ a IIGS.  Just because a program runs under ProDOS
8 doesn't mean that it will automatically work on a //e.  A good tip off
for this program is the SHR in the title (SHR = Super High Resolution, a
graphics mode only found on the GS).  

However, there is a GIF viewer for the //e, but I don't imagine the image
quality is that excellent at 280x192x2 or 560x192x2.  Using 6 or 16
colors would probably even be worse :)  But at least it is better than
nothing.
