Your friend should get CompuShow 2000. It will display 300k JPEGs
in a matter of seconds on a 486 DX2/66, and if you have a decent
video card and monitor, you'll see it in full 24-bit color instead
of trying to fit it in a 256-color palette. When viewing JPEGs, I
find that 640x480x16M gives a better image than 1024x768x256.
 
ObAppleII: I didn't have anything better to do last weekend, so I
wrote an Applesoft two-liner. Enjoy.
