I've used the JpegView program, but stopped when I found out that it has
a tendency to erase my /RAM5 volume when left alone to convert some
images.  Got any other archive names I should look for?

If you can find a GS program that is an 8-bit SYS file, that would be
great.  (I still lack a hard drive, and find it is a pain to maintain
GS/OS in a large /RAM5 volume, especially when programs don't honor the
disk and usurp the memory like JpegView did.  To be fair, it was a
prerelease beta.)
